Science consistently produces a new crop of miraculous truths and dazzling devices every year.

The line celebrates science as an ongoing, self-renewing enterprise: each year brings not only incremental findings but discoveries that can feel “miraculous” and technologies that appear “dazzling” to non-specialists. Framed this way, scientific progress is portrayed as reliably generative—producing both new truths (conceptual understanding) and new devices (practical applications). The wording also hints at a tension common in popular views of science: breakthroughs can seem like magic, yet they arise from methodical work. In a Mullis context, it can be read as an endorsement of scientific creativity and surprise, emphasizing that the frontier keeps moving and that today’s wonders quickly become tomorrow’s tools.
