[NJARC] On the value of history in science education

[Robert Flory]

What role does a vacuum-tube radio or a horse-drawn plow have in modern
science education?

Consider the following quote.

"If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."

ATTRIBUTION: Isaac Newton (1642–1727), British physicist, mathematician,
universal genius. Letter to Robert Hooke, February 5, 1675. 

With reference to his dependency on Galileo’s and Kepler’s work in physics
and astronomy.
