About this Quote

This quote by Richard P. Feynman speaks with the suggestion that scientific research can remove from the beauty of the stars. He recognizes that he can still see as well as feel the celebrities on a desert evening, but questions if he is seeing less or extra. He is recommending that science can both take away from the appeal of the celebrities, yet additionally include in it. By recognizing the scientific research behind the celebrities, we can value them in a brand-new way. We can understand the magnitude of area, the intricacy of deep space, and also the charm of the stars in such a way that we couldn't previously. Scientific research can aid us to value the stars in a brand-new means, and also to see greater than we can previously.
