Wikipedia strikes again....except it actually included both
paraphrased "header" AND attributed the proper quote.

The quote comes from Planck's Scientific Autobiography And Other Papers, p.33, a copy of which is available on the Internet Archive. The specific context that he is referencing is the conflict between Ludwig Boltzmann's (and Max Planck's) model of thermodynamics (specifically relating to the 2nd law/entropy/irreversibility) and Wilhelm Ostwald's now defunct model of energetics which largely ignored or dismissed notions relating to entropy/irreversibility.

“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.”
~ Max Planck (Wikipedia)

Apparently Planck did say that.

Btw Planck never said that; it's a very loose paraphrasing. Before you blindly copy and paste attributions, check accuracy. I know it takes time. And you're not part of a conspiracy.

So the concept of vested interest does not exist for you?
