Summary

This quote expresses a skeptical viewpoint, suggesting that we should not take for granted the existence or consistency of physical laws. It challenges our tendency to assume that the laws that govern our world will remain constant. Instead, it calls for a more open-minded perspective, acknowledging the possibility that these laws may change or cease to exist entirely. This serves as a reminder to approach scientific understanding with humility and allow space for new discoveries and revisions to our existing knowledge.
