“What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean”
— Isaac Newton
Simplified Meaning:
Our knowledge is very limited compared to what we don't know. Imagine holding a drop of water in your hand; this tiny drop represents all the things you have learned and understand. Now, think about the vast, endless ocean, which stands for all the information and mysteries in the world that you haven't discovered yet. There is so much out there that we haven't explored or figured out. For instance, think about how much more there is to learn about space. Scientists have learned a lot about the planets, stars, and galaxies, but they still know just a tiny fraction compared to what is yet to be explored. This reminds us to stay humble and curious because no matter how much we know, there is always more to discover. It encourages lifelong learning and keeps us open to new ideas and knowledge. Even experts in any field are aware that beyond what they grasp, there lies an even greater expanse of unknowns waiting to be uncovered.
