There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table; what is national is no longer science.

Summary

This quote implies that science is universal, unbiased, and not limited to any particular nation or culture. It suggests that science should be objective and objective knowledge rather than influenced by national interests. By stating that there is no "national science," it indicates that the essence of science lies in its universality and objectivity, and when science becomes tied to a nation, it loses these fundamental qualities, becoming a tool of propaganda or nationalism rather than genuine scientific inquiry.
