Scientific paper

We are only two years from celebrating the hundredth anniversary of William Coblentz's first extensive measurements of stars in the infrared. However, his work was followed for fifty years by ---- almost nothing. I will describe the few initiatives in those fifty years and compare them with the dramatic beginning of modern infrared astronomy in the 1960s. I will also quantify the explosive progress of this area since then. The comparison allows us to speculate on the real prerequisites for successful breakthroughs in astronomy and astronomical technology.
