Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to science, it is important to keep up to date with the latest research and discoveries, as knowledge in this field constantly evolves.

By immersing oneself in both the cutting-edge scientific knowledge and timeless literary works, one can gain a balanced perspective on the world.
