It is a sad day for science. Yeah, there was a fire in the central library in moscow. Yeah, one million documents are gone. Tragic start to our new year. Loss is terrible for all humanity, not just russia. Namely, it reminds me of the destruction of the Library of Alexandria many years ago. Actually, the the Library of Alexandria was the largest library in the ancient world and we are still feeling its loss even now. Hard to imagine how different our world would be today if we had not lost such valuable knowledge at so critical an age.
