“Science is nothing but perception”

Simplified Meaning:

When people study science, they are trying to understand the world by looking at how things appear to them. This means that what we call 'science' is really just how we see and interpret things around us. For example, before people understood how gravity worked, they just saw that things always fell to the ground when dropped. By observing this over and over, they started to figure out the rules that objects follow. Another way to look at it is to think about how we see colors. Colors are not something that exist on their own; they are just how our eyes and brain interpret different wavelengths of light. In this way, all scientific knowledge starts with how we perceive the world and try to make sense of it. If you want to use this idea in your life, remember that your take on any situation comes from your unique way of seeing things. It's always good to question what you see and think about if there could be other explanations or perspectives. This will help you understand more and make better decisions.
