Although we have come, in many instances, to an understanding of natural phenomena or effects, what we actually mean by “understanding” is unclear. I believe we often mean nothing more than familiarity: if a new phenomenon can be compared to something we are already used to, we seem to understand it and we feel free to go on to the next step. The set of ideas and the phenomena or the effects we are used to depend on the age in which we live and the field in which we work, and no doubt vary from person to person. But such differences, it seems to me, are of secondary importance; the science of other periods and fields and individuals really differs from our own only in where this reduction to the familiar happens to stop.
