Read this and look at the quotes and attitudes from the old DEAD guard which were wrong then and are wrong NOW. Here are SOME of the equally idiotic quotes from short sighted, closed minded, control freaks afraid knowledge will simply outstrip them;

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." (Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895)

"The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?" (David Sarnoff's associates, in response to his urgings for investment in radio in the 1920's)

"The ordinary 'horseless carriage' is at present a luxury for the wealthy; and although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never come into as common use as the bicycle." -- The Literary Digest, 1889.

"The bomb will never go off, and I speak as an expert in explosives." -- Adm. William Leahy, U.S. Atomic Energy Project, 1945.

"X rays are a hoax." "Aircraft flight is impossible." "Radio has no future." -- Physicist and mathematician Lord Kelvin (1824-1907)

"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools." (New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work, 1921)

But I know your type...one famous scientist told me, 'it doesn't matter who invents and builds it, the ones who win the Nobel will go down in history because they will do the math and correlations to EXISTING LAWS and THEORIES'. He told me though it is built in a garage on a shoestring budget, the inventor will not get the full historical credit, it will be a scientist who will win the Nobel and get life tenure with his own research building at some big, wealthy university. Anyone who DARES to think ONLY THEY can use the word researcher or experimenter or theorist is totally 'messed up' in the head. - Full Article Source
