Similarly, everything has an invisible aspect, which
cannot be observed even through a microscope or a
telescope. It becomes comprehensible only in terms
coined by physicists to fit their own particular
theories. Science does, of course, by means of
advanced technology, observe the outward form of
things in far greater detail than the naked eye is
capable of, but it can never claim to be able to
observe the
inner
form of things. Science observes
external manifestations, and accordingly forms an
opinion about them. So far as discovering the
ultimate reality is concerned, science can only learn
about unknown facts through facts which are
already known.
