[1] Note: Max Planck’s original statement was in German, “Eine neue wissenschaftliche Wahrheit pflegt sich nicht in der Weise durchzusetzen, daß ihre Gegner überzeugt werden und sich als belehrt erklären, sondern vielmehr dadurch, daß ihre Gegner allmählich aussterben und daß die heranwachsende Generation von vornherein mit der Wahrheit vertraut gemacht ist.” (English translation: 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 who is  familiar with it.) Professor Glashow’s translation has highlighted its essence.
