The Inertia of Scientific Thought. Gold, T. Speculations in Science and Technology, 12(4):245–253, 1989. 1abstract bibtex The pace of scientific work continues to accelerate, but the question is whether the pace of *discovery* will continue to accelerate. If we were driving in the wrong direction - in the direction where no new ideas can be accepted - then even if scientific work goes on, the progress would be stifled. This is not to suggest that we are in quite such a disastrous position, but on the other hand, all is not well.
