Summary
This quote, often attributed to physicist Ernest Rutherford, suggests that while many scientific disciplines contribute valuable knowledge, ultimately the foundation of all scientific understanding lies in the principles of physics. It implies that physics acts as the fundamental science, providing the framework and laws that govern the behavior of the natural world. In comparison, other fields of science collect and categorize information but rely on the underlying principles of physics for a comprehensive understanding of phenomena.
