Quote by Felix Klein
The developing science departs at the same time more and more from its original scope and purpose and threatens to sacrifice its earlier unity and split into diverse branches.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the concern that as science develops, it tends to move away from its initial goals and become more specialized, leading to a potential loss of unity and fragmentation into different branches. It suggests that science may lose its overarching focus as it expands and diversifies into various specialized fields, possibly hindering collaboration and progress in the long run.
