Summary

This quote suggests that science is about understanding the interconnectedness and relationships between facts and events. It is the study of how one fact or event leads to or depends on another, and how they collectively shape our understanding of the world. Science aims to uncover the hidden consequences and relationships within the natural world, allowing us to make sense of the cause and effect dynamics that govern physical phenomena. By exploring these dependencies, science provides us with valuable knowledge and insight into the workings of the universe.
