NObel Prize winner are dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants


The metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants ( Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes) expresses the meaning of "discovering truth by building on previous discoveries". [1] This concept has been traced to the 12th century, attributed to Bernard of Chartres. Its most familiar expression in English is by Isaac Newton in 1675: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." [2]
