A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. – Max Planck
Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it. – Max Planck
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. – Max Planck
We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future. – Max Planck
Todays preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science – to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swifts kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath. – Robert Lanza
