普朗克科學定律

普朗克曾經說過一句關於科學真理的真理，它可以敘述為“一個新的科學真理取得勝利並不是通過讓它的反對者們信服並看到真理的光明，而是通過這些反對者們最終死去，熟悉它的新一代成長起來。”這一斷言被稱為普朗克科學定律，並廣為流傳。

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.

它是科技史家或科學哲學家托馬斯·庫恩（Kuhn T. S.）在一本書《科學變革的結構》或《科學革命的結構》（The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Chicago: Chicago University Press. 1970）中引用馬克斯·普朗克（Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck）的一句名言。
