Science Quotes by Norman John Berrill (1 quote)
Life can be thought of as water kept at the right temperature in the right atmosphere in the right light for a long enough period of time.
— Norman John Berrill
You and The Universe (1958), 145.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
