"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
Admirers of this idea shortened it to, "Science progresses one funeral at a time."
Thank you, I couldn’t remember where exactly that was from, and was too lazy to look it up!
