[edit] Theories
There's a quote I cannot quite recall about how to advance a new theory one must simply wait for the old guard to die out. Can anyone recall the exact quote surrounding this, if so, it would be much appreciated.
[edit] Mistakes in Science, Nature of Science
This Box quote:
"All models are wrong, but some are useful". - George E. P. Box
is now in the "Mistakes in Science" section.
It should be in the "Nature of Science" section. It is closely related to this Popper quote:
"Science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification." - Karl Popper
Which is already in the "Nature of Science" section
Disregard the above message - I just made the change myself - I didn't realize how open this system really is - remarkable - I must be careful of typos!!

[edit] Answers vs. questions
I heard this quote on a science program in the 1980s:
-
- “The scientist’s job isn’t to find answers but to find questions.”
Does anyone know where this is from? Morganfitzp 13:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
