- W1997647545 abstract "����� The fallibility of scientists is well known and documented. Famous savants are sometimes completely mistaken in their predictions on particular questions, even in their own fields of expertise. When scientists make pronouncements about basic issues in areas far-removed from their own bailiwicks, watch out! Why is it that biologists never advance hypotheses on problems of physics (relating to quarks, gluons, black holes), whereas many physical scientists have attempted to explain major unsolved biological problems to the public and to biologists who keep struggling to unravel the complex mysteries of life? It is not my purpose here to detail and analyze the various factors that may contribute to this tendency of physical scientists. Rather, I draw attention to existence of the phenomenon. To simplify matters, I will use the designation physicist in a broad sense to also include physical chemists, astronomers, and even mathematicians. To be sure, a handful of physicists have made notable—in fact, spectacular—contributions to biology, the hard way. That is, by taking the trouble to master the biological background, and then to do experiments in the laboratory or pursue meaningful theoretical work as they progressed in their productive phases. Linus Pauling, Max Delbruck, Leo Szilard, Seymour Benzer, and Francis Crick are good examples of scientists who successfully made the transition. Given the territorial chauvinism common among scientists, it is not surprising that many physicists seem comforted by the thought that all scientists of their persuasion who have bothered thinking about biology have been key figures in straightening out the biologists. Usually, these contemporary physicists know little of the facts, and are unaware of the total failures. Let's examine part of the record." @default.
