Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up.
创建一个新理论并不像是毁掉一个就谷场然后在原地建起一座摩天大厦. 它更像是爬山,不舍的攀登之后,便是更新奇更宽广的视角,随之也会意外地发现我们的起点与现在周边丰饶的景色之间的联系. 但是,我们出发的地点仍然存在并且清晰可见,只是它显得小了. 那曾经的起点如今只是我们在完成那充满艰险的旅程之后所获得的宽广视角中的一小部分了.
