Quote by Vladimir Vernadski
English (Source)
The whole history of science shows at every turn that some personalities were more right in their assertions than entire corporations of scientists and than hundreds of thousands of researchers who adhered to the prevailing opinions... The truth often shows itself in a greater extent to these heretics of science than to the representatives of orthodox scientific thought. Of course, not all groups and individuals outside the scientific worldview have this great foresight into the future of human thought, but only some, a few. But the real people with a genuine scientific worldview are always to be found in these groups and individuals who sit on the fringes, among the heretics of science, and not among the representatives of the dominant scientific view. To distinguish these from those who are in error is not the business of contemporaries.
