Science Quotes by Hickory Starr (1 quote)
Unshared knowledge, is knowledge lost.
— Hickory Starr
As quoted by Bruce Ross, in 'Miscellaneous Ramblings', on his website, www.kuwiskuwi.net. Hickory (Geyosehi) wanted knowledge shared of the native culture of the Keetoowah. [It applies also to sharing of knowledge among scientists, among other disciplines. -Webmaster]
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) --
