"هر چه جهان بیشتر قابل درک به نظر می‌رسد، بیشتر هم بی‌معنی به نظر می‌رسد"

Simplified Meaning:

When people learn more about how the universe works, it might seem like there's no real purpose behind it all. For example, if you study science and understand how stars and planets form, you might feel like everything is just following natural rules without any bigger reason. This can make it seem like all the events and things in the universe are random and lack meaning. Imagine you’ve worked very hard to understand a difficult problem or puzzle, and once you solve it, you realize that knowing the answer doesn’t really change anything important about your life. Similarly, as we understand more about the universe, it can feel like our knowledge doesn't give us a satisfying reason for why we exist. Someone might feel overwhelmed by this and start to think that life is pointless. But instead of letting this idea make them feel bad, they could focus on finding their own meaning or purpose in life. For instance, they could choose to focus on what makes them happy, like spending time with loved ones or helping others, which can give their life a sense of meaning even if the universe itself seems indifferent.
