Science Quotes by John G. Neihardt (1 quote)
Once in a cycle the comet
Doubles its lonesome track.
Enriched with the tears of a thousand years,
Aeschylus wanders back.
Doubles its lonesome track.
Enriched with the tears of a thousand years,
Aeschylus wanders back.
— John G. Neihardt
In 'The Poet’s Town', Part XII, The Forum (Nov 1910), 44, 531.
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) --
