“We are so far from knowing all the forces of nature and their various modes of action that it would be unworthy of the philosopher to deny phenomena simply because they are inexplicable at the present state of our knowledge. The more difficult it is to acknowledge their existence, the greater the care with which we must study these phenomena.” — Pierre-Simon Laplace

The more difficult it is to acknowledge their existence, the greater the care with which we must study these phenomena.
