Why do exact sciences seem to be so important and cool?
After all, in the process of their development, they are constantly changing, and sometimes what used to seem accurate turns out to be nonsense.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
