Quote by Niels Bohr

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out

Summary

This quote by physicist Niels Bohr suggests that the purpose of physics is not solely to uncover the true nature of the physical world but to describe and explain our understanding of it. It implies that scientific knowledge is not an absolute representation of reality, but rather a construct based on human interpretation and language. Therefore, instead of trying to grasp the ultimate essence of nature, physics aims to develop theories and models that effectively explain the workings of the natural world as best as possible with our limited understanding.
