"But what sin is to the moralist and crime to the jurist so to the scientific man is ignorance"

This quote by Frederick Soddy is a contrast in between the moralist, the jurist, and the scientific man. The moralist views sin as a wrong-doing, the jurist views criminal activity as an infraction of the law, and the clinical male views lack of knowledge as an absence of knowledge. Soddy is suggesting that lack of knowledge is simply as bad as sin and criminal activity, as it can cause an absence of understanding and progress. He is stressing the importance of knowledge and understanding in the scientific field, as it is important for development and development. Lack of knowledge can result in an absence of understanding and can avoid scientific development, so it is necessary to pursue understanding and understanding. Soddy's quote is a reminder of the importance of knowledge and understanding in the scientific field, and how ignorance can be just as detrimental as sin and criminal offense.
