In 1874, physics professor Philipp von Jolly advised a young Max Planck not to study physics:
P.S.: Max Planck went on to win a Nobel Prize and helped usher in the era of quantum mechanics.
In 1958 physicist and science communicator George Gamow published “Matter, Earth, and Sky”. Gamow wrote a thematically similar statement:
Almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few unimportant holes.

In 1958 physicist and science communicator George Gamow published “Matter, Earth, and Sky”. Gamow wrote a thematically similar statement:
In the study of the universe, we have expanded our knowledge to a limit beyond which nothing basically new has been found. Even the 200-inch telescope of the Palomar Mountain Observatory permits us to see only more of the same galaxies that were seen through the 100-inch telescope on Mount Wilson, and a 300-inch, 400-inch, etc. telescope will most probably see just more of the same.
