For a New Renaissance in Science |
“Only daring have made the main contributions to Science. Notwithstanding this, the contemporary heavy administration in the system of modern scientific education and scientific research still suppresses everyone who wishes to develop new and productive ideas. That is why the freedom of scientific work and the free initiative of original studies should undeniably be defended, because only these factors were and will be the most productive sources of great progress of Science”—Louis de Broglie, Necessity of Freedom of Scientific Work, Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie, vol. 4, nº 1, p.62 (1979). |
