“Text quoted from Galileo Galilei, Il Saggiatore (1623) reads: Philosophy is written in this grand book – I mean the universe – which stands continually opened to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written.
