What is knowledge?
“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it. When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do is to know what books have treated of it. This leads us to look at catalogues, and at the backs of books in libraries”
Samuel Johnson, Boswell’s Life of Johnson

Knowledge accumulates…
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”
Isaac Newton, 1675
