“Some people turn to religion or some other ideology or belief system to find answers to life’s mysteries. But for me, there is no substitute for the careful hypothesising, testing, and deducing of facts about the world that are the hallmark of the scientific method. The understanding we have gained through science—and physics in particular—of how the world is made up and how it works is, in my view, not just one of many equally valid ways of reaching the ‘truth’ about reality. It is the only reliable way we have.” — Jim Al-Khalili
Some people turn to religion or some other ideology or belief system

world is made up and how it works is, in my view, not just one of many
equally valid ways of reaching the ‘truth’ about reality. It is the only
