Martin Rees Quote- Reith lecture 2010.

Martin Rees in the third of this year’s Reith lectures has a good quote about reductionism in Science.

“You can not understand the concept of time by taking apart a timepiece.”

Think about this when coaching athletes. You can not reduce everything to the cellular level or analyse things in a lab, without looking at the overall athletic movement.

The same applies to thinking that working on a healthy rotator cuff complex with therabands will actually get anything done.
