In practical physics work, any middle school can have experiences to verify the accuracy of a scientific hypothesis. But man, because he has only one life, has no possibility of verifying the hypothesis by experience so that he will never know if he was wrong or right obey his feeling. {Part I, ch. 16}
In Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," the author reflects on the limitations of human experience in verifying scientific hypotheses. He suggests that while students in a middle school can conduct experiments that affirm or challenge scientific theories, individuals in life face an inherent disadvantage. Each person lives only once and can’t repeat experiences to confirm or disprove their beliefs or actions.
This perspective emphasizes the uncertainty of existence and the burdens of choice. Humans often rely on instinctive feelings rather than empirical evidence, which raises questions about the nature of truth and knowledge. Ultimately, it illustrates a poignant contrast between the tangible testing of hypotheses in a school setting and the elusive, unrepeatable nature of human life.
