Science - Science (general)
German term or phrase: Wissenschaft ist Irrtum auf den letzten Stand gebracht
"Wissenschaft ist Irrtum auf den letzten Stand gebracht." - Linus Pauling

I am certain that this quotation was originally spoken in English, however I am having no luck with Google. Does anyone have references to this quotation in English? I'd hate to have to translate it when the original itself (in English) is probably floating out there somewhere in cyberspace.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for your help - I'm also starting to think that this quote never existed. However, "fallacy updated" sounds good to me.

Explanation:
Wenn man nach Pauling quotes sucht findet man immer nur diese drei:
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.
Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.
Das erste scheint noch am ehesten zu passen. Vgl.
http://www.quotationsbook.com/authors/5599/Linus_Pauling

Aber dann habe ich dieses entdeckt und frage mich, ob das vollständige Zitat vielleicht auf den *Irrtum* im deutschen Zitat hinweist!!
“The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas, and throw the bad ones away”

Ist leider nur eine Vermutung.
