Summary

This quote suggests that while science has the potential to uncover the mechanisms and processes behind the "How" of the world, such as explaining natural phenomena, the deeper question of "Why" it all exists might be left to other domains like contemplation, philosophy, and religion. It implies that scientific explanations can focus on understanding the how, leaving room for subjective interpretations and contemplation regarding the purpose and meaning behind existence.
