Abstract
THE phenomenon called ‘autocatalysis’ by the chemists is most conspicuously exemplified by the way in which natural sciences develop. A single discovery often leads to a rapid advance in scientific knowledge, each result becoming a nucleus of further progress. The man of science, although fortunate to live in such an illuminating epoch of scientific progress, has the uneasy feeling that he may not be able to keep pace with such gigantic developments. Occasionally he is bewildered by the rapidity of the advance in scientific knowledge. Even if he concentrates on one special field, the development may be so rapid, the papers published so numerous, that he has difficulty in keeping the pace.
