“The more I learn about the universe, the more I learn about how much I don't know”

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Simplified Meaning:

When you start studying and discovering new things about the world, you begin to realize there is still a lot more that you don’t know. Think of it like climbing a mountain; as you go higher, you can see more of the landscape, but you also see many other mountains and valleys that you still haven't explored. For example, when someone first learns about the solar system, they might realize that there are countless other solar systems and galaxies out there. This idea helps us understand that being knowledgeable means recognizing our limitations and the endless possibilities for learning. It’s a reminder to stay humble, be curious, and always keep exploring and asking questions because there’s always more out there to learn. So in everyday life, it encourages you to keep an open mind and never stop learning, no matter how much you think you already know.
