Understanding the research cycle
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”
(Isaac Newton 1676)
This phrase is often attributed to Isaac Newton but Newton is probably repeating something he has already heard and the phrase might well be traceable back to Bernard of Chartres in the 12th century. Nevertheless, this illustrates how incremental additions to the body of knowledge brings us to the state of knowledge we have today and will be laying the ground for the knowledge we will enjoy tomorrow.
