Just as Nietzsche's "God is Dead", that's one statement that (though less popular) is much-maligned. It is also one of my favourites from old H. More so than in the case of Nietzsche's statement (since his [primary?] interest does in fact often seem to be controversy), any reading of Heidegger's requires reading further (for very shortly after, Heidegger makes it clear that he does not make that statement to imply disrespect towards Science or scientists).
