Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.

Summary

This quote suggests that while scientific advancements and discoveries are constantly happening, many older theories or ideas eventually become disproven or outdated. Science serves as a graveyard for these "dead ideas", as they are discarded or surpassed by new and more accurate information. However, even though these theories are no longer valid, they may have laid the foundation for future breakthroughs or improvements in understanding, leading to new life or knowledge emerging from them.
