Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.

Summary

This quote suggests that within the realm of science, many ideas and concepts are constantly being challenged, revised, and ultimately discarded. It implies that scientific progress depends on exploring new hypotheses and theories, often leading to the abandonment of older concepts that no longer hold up under scrutiny or new evidence. While this may seem like a negative depiction of science, it actually highlights the dynamic and adaptive nature of the scientific endeavor, where ideas undergo continuous evaluation and refinement for the pursuit of knowledge and truth.
