This part in the opinion, after the syllabus, seems essential to me:

"To put the matter more succinctly, the claims inform a relevant audience
about certain laws of nature; any additional steps
consist of well understood, routine, conventional activity already
engaged in by the scientific community; and those steps,
when viewed as a whole, add nothing significant beyond the sum of
their parts taken separately. For these reasons we believe that
the steps are not sufficient to transform unpatentable natural
correlations into patentable applications of those regularities."
