A scientist who is no longer capable of framing a hypothesis — or never was — is not a scientist but a methodological fossil.


Robots or Gods, Chapter IV (p. 48), Alfred A. Knopf. 1931


A scientist who is no longer capable of framing a hypothesis — or never was — is not a scientist but a methodological fossil.

A scientist who is no longer capable of framing a hypothesis — or never was — is not a scientist but a methodological fossil.

A scientist who is no longer capable of framing a hypothesis — or never was — is not a scientist but a methodological fossil.

A scientist who is no longer capable of framing a hypothesis — or never was — is not a scientist but a methodological fossil.
