"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve"

- Max Planck

About this Quote

Max Planck's quote recommends that science can only take us up until now in comprehending the secrets of nature. He suggests that, eventually, we belong to the secret that we are trying to resolve. This recommends that our understanding of nature is restricted by our own understanding of ourselves. We can utilize science to get insight into the natural world, but we can never ever completely comprehend the complexities of nature due to the fact that we belong to it. This quote motivates us to accept the limits of our knowledge and to value the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. It also functions as a suggestion that, while science can help us comprehend the world around us, it can not supply us with all the responses.
