“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts”

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, even experts can be wrong, and science is about questioning everything, including what experts say. For example, people used to think that the Earth was flat because experts said so. But through asking questions and doing experiments, we discovered that the Earth is round. In science, it's important not to just accept what experts say at face value. Always be curious and check things out for yourself. If you remember to always ask questions and seek the truth, you’re thinking like a scientist. This mindset can help you in everyday life when you need to make decisions based on different opinions and information.
