Could paraphrase this sentence? It's short

Hi, community. How's it going? Good? Could you paraphrase this sentence for me? I can normally understand English, but this expression "so far as" seems a bit weird. Oh... could you put some other examples as well. Of course, if you can.

PS: If I typed something wrong, let me know, please.

"So far as the theories of mathematics are about reality; they are not certain; so far as they are certain, they are not about reality."

— Albert Einstein
