“In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance ”

Simplified Meaning:
When we learn more, we realize how much we still don't know. Imagine climbing a tall mountain. As you get higher, you can see further into the distance. You can see more of the world, but you also notice many more places you haven't explored yet. For example, think about someone studying space. At first, they might only know about the planets in our solar system. As they learn more, they discover countless stars and galaxies, and they realize how much more there is to understand. They see how big and complex the universe really is. This idea can help us stay humble and curious. It's a reminder that no matter how much we know, there's always more to learn. So we should keep asking questions and exploring new things.
