“When Newton published [his theory of gravitation], quite a lot of other scientists were disappointed.
They wanted to know what gravity was, and Newton apparently didn't tell them what it was; he told them what it did.
Then Hume came along and said that actually, the kind of thing Newton did was the only kind of thing the human mind could ever do.”
—Simon Blackburn on the philosophy of science
