“No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.”

Sigmund Freud

Simplified Meaning:

Science is a tool we use to understand the world. It's based on evidence and can help us find out many important things, like how diseases work or why the sky is blue. But science has limits; it can't give us everything we need. For example, science can't tell us how to be happy or what the meaning of life is. Imagine you have the best hammer in the world. It's great for building a house, but you can't use it to cook dinner. In the same way, while science is very powerful, some answers must come from other places, such as philosophy or personal experiences. If you think you can find every answer only through science, you'll be disappointed. Instead, use science for its strengths and know when to look elsewhere for other types of understanding.
