The Theory Of Our Modern Technic Shows

It Is Proper To The Role Of The Scientist That He Not Merely Find New Truth And Communicate It To His Fellows, But That He Teach, That He Try To Bring The Most Honest And Intelligible Account Of New Knowledge To All Who Will Try To Learn.

Taken As A Story Of Human Achievement, And Human Blindness, The Discoveries In The Sciences Are Among The Great Epics.

All History Teaches Us That These Questions That We Think The Pressing Ones Will Be Transmuted Before They Are Answered, That They Will Be Replaced By Others, And That The Very Process Of Discovery Will Shatter The Concepts That We Today Use To Describe Our Puzzlement.

We Knew The World Would Not Be The Same. A Few People Laughed, A Few People Cried, Most People Were Silent. I Remembered The Line From The Hindu Scripture, The Bhagavad-gita; Vishnu Is Trying To Persuade The Prince That He Should Do His Duty And, To Impress Him, Takes On His Multi-armed Form And Says, "now I Am Become Death, The Destroyer Of Worlds." I Suppose We All Thought That, One Way Or Another.

If We Must Live With A Perpetual Sense That The World And The Men In It Are Greater Than We And Too Much For Us, Let It Be The Measure Of Our Virtue That We Know This And Seek No Comfort.
