“Related to this, the fourth theme of this book is that sometimes established science can be wrong, and it is necessary to keep an open mind that this is possible and seriously consider alternative points of view. Not doing so protects the interests of the scientific establishment but delays the advancement of science to the detriment of humanity. There have been many historical examples of this, but always at a given present it is considered that that is a thing of the past, not of that moment, until after the fact.” — Jorge E. Hirsch
