“Undoubtedly, there is still much that is unknown, dark and misunderstood by us in the universe; undoubtedly, new gaps in our knowledge will always open up, as old gaps are filled. But we see no region in which it would be impossible for us to find the explanation of phenomena by turning to the simple physical facts - those that occur when two billiard balls meet, or when a stone falls, or to the chemical facts we see around us. So far, these "mechanical" facts suffice to explain all of Nature's life. Nowhere have they failed us: and we do not foresee the probability of ever discovering a region where mechanical facts would no longer suffice. Nothing, so far, leads us to suspect its existence.”

Kropotkin, Modern science and anarchy, 1913.
