“Science is not a collection of facts. It is a way of thinking.”
What this quote means
This quote reminds us that science is fundamentally a method, an attitude of mind. It is not just a collection of data, but a way of questioning the world, forming hypotheses, and testing them. It invites us to adopt a critical and curious mindset in our daily lives, not to take things for granted, and to seek understanding rather than merely accumulating information.
