Max Planck - Wikiquote

Max Planck - Wikiquote: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Paraphrased variants:
Truth never triumphs — its opponents just die out.
Science advances one funeral at a time."
