Science Quotes by (Georg Friedrich) Louis Stromeyer (1 quote)
Do not let the sun rise upon a strangulated hernia if first seen at night; and do not let the sun set upon a strangulated hernia if first seen by day.
— (Georg Friedrich) Louis Stromeyer
Quoted in Alexander Bryan Johnson, Operative Therapeusis (1915), Vol. 4, 130.
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) --
