"Now the physicist, himself, who describes all this, is, in his own account,

very particulars he describes, no more, no less, bound together by and
obeying such general laws as he himself has managed to find and to record.
"Thus we cannot escape the fact that the world we know is constructed in
order (and thus in such a way as to be able) to see itself.
"This is indeed amazing."
