“Sciences usually advances by a succession of small steps, through a fog in which even the most keen-sighted explorer can seldom see more than a few paces ahead. Occasionally the fog lifts, an eminence is gained, and a wider stretch of territory can be surveyed-sometimes with startling results. A whole science may then seem to undergo a kaleidoscopic rearrangement, fragments of knowledge sometimes being found to fit together in a hitherto unsuspected manner. Sometimes the shock of readjustment may spread to other sciences; sometimes it may divert the whole current of human thought.” HumansMaySometimesWholeSeemsTogetherScienceFoundResultsStepsKnowledgeFitCurrentsSpreadLiftsShockTerritoryPaceFogFragmentsSuccessionExplorersHuman ThoughtSmall StepsEminence Author:James Jeans
