Development in science depends on several factors. Among these, the
role of individual scientists is perhaps not the most important
one. Science is typically a body of collective knowledge and any
increase in the amount of this knowledge is certainly due to strong
interaction among scientists. Even in the past, it happened quite
rarely that a single person, without any aid of others, d- covered
something fundamental or opened a new chapter in science. Great
figures of science history have, in most cases, had rather a
summarizing and s- thesizing role. This is especially valid over
the last few decades. On one hand, the amount of information
necessary to achieve new discoveries, has increased tremendously.
On the other hand, improvement of technical facilities has
increased the speed of information exchange. These factors resulted
in a degree of specialization in science that had never seen
before. Most of us are experts and specialists rather than
scientists in the classical sense. My personal feeling is that,
even nowadays, there is a strong need for professionals with a
broad knowledge and c- prehensive mind, although they may not be
competitive in the number of their publications or the sizes of
their grants. Every time I have met such a person (I can count
these cases on my fingers) I have become deeply influenced by his
or her strong intellect.
