Quote by Henri Poincare

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of organization and structure in science. While facts are the building blocks of scientific knowledge, simply gathering a collection of facts does not constitute a scientific discipline. Similar to how a house requires the arrangement of stones to form a coherent structure, science requires the interpretation, synthesis, and application of facts to develop hypotheses, theories, and meaningful understanding. Only when facts are organized and interconnected through rigorous processes of analysis and experimentation does science truly emerge.
