“Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves”
— richard feynman
Simplified Meaning:
When we use science, we are trying to understand the world in a way that avoids mistakes and false beliefs. Imagine you’re trying to figure out why plants grow. You might have an idea that talking to plants makes them grow faster. Instead of just believing that, science would have you do experiments to see if it’s really true. Maybe you grow one plant while talking to it and another plant without talking. If the plants grow the same, you know that talking probably doesn’t help. This process of testing ideas carefully helps us avoid believing things that aren’t true. We can use this approach in everyday life by always checking the facts and not just trusting what seems true at first glance. This helps us make better decisions and understand the world more accurately.
