Quote by John Charles Polanyi

For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom.

For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom.

Summary

This quote implies that science can truly flourish and progress only when it is granted the freedom to explore and innovate without constraints or limitations. Similar to how breathing oxygen is essential for humans to survive and thrive, the quote suggests that scientific advancement is dependent on the liberation of thought, experimentation, and expression. It emphasizes the need to create an environment where scientists are not bound by censorship, fear, or suppression, as this stifles the potential of scientific discoveries and hinders the overall progress and understanding of the world.
