Searching for a particular quotation by a renowned physicist


Hello forum!

I once read a quote from a renowned physicist but I do not rememer his name or the quote.

It was something like: if your theory disagreed with Maxwell or with experimentalists, it was their problem, but if it disagreed with 2nd thermo then you were finished.

Google aren't very good at fuzzy searches.
