Science Quote of the Week #45
This week’s quote comes from Isaac Newton.
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
Update: Thanks to Rob Hooft for pointing out that ‘Isaac Newton applied his “shoulders” method even to this quotation: he did not come up with it all by himself!’ Read this article to find out more about the original quote from author and theologian John of Salisbury.
