In this article’s sense, yes—Explain means “try to make something less mysterious”. For example, Newton Explained when devising the laws of physics, and a student who learns them is also doing some Explaining. Worship, on the other hand, means (in here, not in general) “revel in something’s mysteriousness” (e.g. Newton seeing an apple fall from a tree, and saying “I guess phlogiston did it”.) Ignore is the boring but sometimes practical option, saying “Eh, an apple fell from a tree” and leaving it at that.
