Max Planck, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, is often credited with saying "science advances one funeral at a time". This is a paraphrase of a passage from his autobiography, Scientific Autobiography.
Explanation
Planck's original statement was, "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die".
The idea behind Planck's principle is that the identity of the person making an argument is often more important than the quality of the argument.
