Quotes
- “...the 'size' of science has doubled steadily every 15 years. In a century this means a factor of 100. For every single scientific paper or for every single scientist in 1670, there were 100 in 1770, 10,000 in 1870 and 1,000,000 in 1970.”
- “A new scientific theory is seldom stated with such clarity by its original author, and usually takes many years to creep into public conciousness.”
- “The communication of modern science to the ordinary citizen, necessary, important, desirable as it is, cannot be considered an easy task. The prime obstacle is lack of education. … There is also the difficulty of making scientific discoveries interesting and exciting without completely degrading them intellectually. … It is a weakness of modern science that the scientist shrinks from this sort of publicity, and thus gives an impression of arrogant mystagoguery.”
- “Ethics is not just an abstract intellectual discipline. It is about the conflicts that arise in trying to meet real human needs and values.”
