The sentence:
If there is one fact more than any other which stands out in the history of science, it is the remarkable extent to which great discoveries and youthful genius stand associated together.
I'm kind of puzzled by "more than any other" above. Which part of the sentence does "more" modify?
I think it's the same as:
If there is one fact which stands out in the history of science more than any other...
and "more" modifies "stands out", but I'm not sure on this one...
