It would be possible to describe everything scientifically,

Summary

This quote suggests that while it may be possible to explain something scientifically, doing so may lose the true essence or meaning of it. It uses the example of describing a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure, illustrating that reducing something artistic and emotionally powerful to mere scientific terms would strip it of its beauty and significance. This implies that some things are better appreciated and understood outside the boundaries of scientific explanation.
