Quotes by John M. Ziman (?)

“…the ‘size’ of science has doubled steadily every 15 years. In a century this means a factor of 100. For every single scientific paper or for every single scientist in 1670, there were 100 in 1770, 10,000 in 1870 and 1,000,000 in 1970.”
― John Ziman

“Science is to be believed because it can be openly criticized. The criteria for belief is not authority nor logical necessity, but nobody has yet found a more convincing pattern of interpretation.”
