Thursday's Thought for the Day

Max Planck (1858-1947) is the originator of quantum theory of physics. So he has a bit of a stake in the following conclusion. If I can propose a small assignment in relation to this quote, think about whether it applies to areas aside from science (or even always science):

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by
convincing its opponents and making them
see the light, but rather because its opponents
eventually die out, and a new generation
grows up that is familiar with it."
