Quotes
The financial rewards for a career in science are generally
modest when compared to business, medicine, or law. Of the scientists surveyed in this book, only Haber and, to some degree, Nernst seem to have been much interested in money. And scientists are usually not concerned with fame. Only the rare scientist—Newton, Darwin, or Einstein, for example—is widely known in his or her own time, and even then, the general public usually has a poor understanding of his or her achievements.
Theories that cannot be tested by observation or experiment are often said to be “not even wrong”—neither scientifi cally true nor false but meaningless.
