It's the history of science that when all the accesses and, just saying, the entry of all the minds are like besieged and obstructed by the most dark idols that are deeply rooted in the minds and like impressed in fire [...] it can afford genuine and original light of the things to find a frank and clean space in which to be reflected. [...] Present is a two-faced being, it looks along with the past and to the future in order to make of a precise idea, it is therefore important to have a picture of both two times, a picture that embraces not only the course and the progress of science but also the forecast of the future.

Francis Bacon
