Epigraph in Michael Dudley Sturge , Statistical and Thermal Physics (2003), 139.
Technology is hot, and science is such an important part of our lives, I’m surprised there’s not more science humor out there. You put a few cartoons in a textbook and it makes the science a little less intimidating.
— Sidney Harris
In Robert A. Hamilton, 'One-Liners to Lighten Up Science', New York Times (17 Apr 1994), Section CN, 14.
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) --
