About This Quote

“[We see that] science is eminently perfectible, and that each theory has constantly to give way to a fresh one.” This quote from the famous scientist, Charles Darwin, reflects the process of science as well as the nature of scientific discoveries. The truth is science never stops. Scientists keep adding information and theories to their growing knowledge base and change their minds as they learn more about the universe and how it works.
