About this Quote

Max Born's quote talks to the concept that science is a constant procedure, which brand-new theories are built upon the structures of older theories. He recommends that even when there are rough happenings, such as revolutions in clinical idea, the continuity of science is not impacted. This is since the older theories are still included as limiting cases in the new ones. To put it simply, the brand-new theories are built upon the old ones, and the old theories are still taken into consideration when the new theories are created. This concept of continuity in science is necessary, as it enables the development of originalities while still respecting the work of those who came in the past. It also allows for the improvement of existing theories, as brand-new evidence and data can be used to further fine-tune and surpass existing theories. In this way, science is able to progress and develop, while still appreciating the work of those who came previously.
