"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." - Niels Bohr [A reader notes that historian Thomas S. Kuhn includes the same quotation, attributing it to Max Planck, in his _Scientific_Autobiography_and_Other_Papers_ (New York, 1949) at 33-34. Can anyone confirm?]
