Summary

This quote suggests that in the realm of science, most changes that are observed eventually reach a state of balance or equilibrium, where the forces that cause those changes are neutralized, resulting in a state of rest or stability. This implies that scientific phenomena, when studied deeply, tend to exhibit a tendency towards finding a state of harmony or a balance between opposing forces.
