Quote of the day from Andrew J. Galambos

There will be a book, and the book, of course, puts an intellectual responsibility and an intellectual respectability upon an idea far in excess of what it has when it’s in oral form only.  Please note that Isaac Newton did not do very much with the theory of gravitation as long as it was not in printed form.  When it was in printed form, it changed the world completely, even though he wrote it in Latin.
