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 that is familiar with it.

I also heard this as “science advances one funeral at a time”.

Thanks I always appreciate a lead on good mathematics books. I understand maxwells equations well enough.
