More From Ernest Rutherford

Gradually, ... the aspect of science as knowledge is being thrust into the background by the aspect of science as the power of manipulating nature. it is because science gives us the power of manipulating nature that it has more social importance than art. science as the pursuit of truth is the equal, but not the superior, of art. science as a technique, though it may have little intrinsic value, has a practical importance to which art cannot aspire.
