Simplified Meaning:

This quote is about how predicting human behavior is much harder than predicting natural events. Think of a scientist who can tell exactly where a planet will be in the sky because planets move in predictable ways based on math and science. However, when it comes to understanding why people do what they do, it's not so simple. People can be unpredictable, emotional, and act irrationally, which makes it difficult to figure out what they will do next. Imagine you're a weather forecaster. You can use technology and data to predict when it will rain. But if you try to predict what your best friend will do tomorrow, it's much harder. They might change their mind, have a mood swing, or make a spontaneous decision you didn't see coming. This shows that while science can help us understand the physical world, human emotions and actions are far more complex and harder to predict. In real life, this means we need to be patient and understanding with people, knowing that they are complicated and not always logical. It reminds us that people are not like machines; they have thoughts, feelings, and experiences that influence their actions in unexpected ways.
