Science and the elusive truth

 

 

This quote from Richard Horton goes back a long way.  He was of course talking mostly about medical research, but I think we can see a close parallel in the research on Stonehenge and the bluestones, can't we?

Of course, no science can ever be completely true -- by its very nature it is incremental.
