Do you know dear reader, have in common dynamite, microwave oven and penicillin? We are sure you have the answer on the tip of the tongue and is not to be stuck there tell it to the dynamite, the microwave oven and penicillin were invented a fluke, are the product of chance.
science (which for all is a fancy name and bombastic) has called this serendipity. The term is used to define the power of making a discovery or lucky find by accident. The buzzword that was invented by the English writer Horace Wallpole to describe some of their creations. He in turn took it (which in science is called plagiarism) of a fairy tale called "The Three Princes of Serendip" where they relate the adventures of characters who regularly used their wisdom to find things were not looking.
The man has walked into modernity fluke tip. In this world "serendipities" the vast majority of the discoveries and inventions have been made by chance. However, serendipity is not just winning the lottery, for there is much "memo" in this world who have missed the fact. Louis Pasteur said that in the fields of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind. This is evident in the case of Newton, as a man with less "witted" had made an apple pie instead of the law of gravity.
But as provide "cool" connection between the accident and invention? To not leave with doubt are some of the most famous inventions serendipities:
divine inspiration or boredom hell
The famous yellow leaves (post it) without which it would not be conceivable post-modern world, were invented when an employee 3M Company developed a glue that stuck, frustrated put it away. Some time later when I heard a sermon at church (maybe too long) trying to sort his missal, he came to mind the idea of \u200b\u200busing the glue on small pieces of paper that could stick and take off.
A very moving photo
In their first attempt, Louis Daguerre did not get clear images, your photos were very faint and hardly. Daguerre day I keep one of these photographs in a cabinet of chemicals, to remove later found her with a clear and firm. The closet was full of bottles with chemicals which have been responsible. " Daguerre took out one by one the bottles to find the cause of the effect. When the cabinet was found empty the phenomenon continued to occur, then fixed in one of the shelves had a spot of mercury, the product of a broken thermometer. Then he realized that mercury vapors were the answer to your mystery.
When technology popcorn reached
While investigating a radar apparatus for use as an engineer got a chocolate bar in his pocket. Later when he wanted to eat the chocolate realized that the bar had melted. To see what happened put together several of the devices a little corn. Upon his return he found a pile of popcorn and the answer to fast food.
hooks instead of teeth
After a stroll through the countryside George realized Maestral clothing that had filled with burs. With great curiosity I look under a microscope to understand how so tightly clutched tissues. Discovered that the seeds were covered with tiny hooks tangled in the threads of the fabric. With this idea, De Maestral decided to design a closure based on this model, because it was invented Velcro (Velvet = velvet and crochet = hook)
American Breakfast gives
After having left forgotten for a day, the Kellogg brothers tried to amass a preparation of wheat grain. By passing the roller noted that there was a mass of crushed and flat, but the grains were scaly. By using this process with corn, Kellogs were invented what today can be considered one of the most common breakfast in the world.
you any names in order, the list is really long: Birth control pill, penicillin, vulcanized rubber, X-rays, Viagra, dynamite, chaos theory, saccharin all made by a real chance that did not go unnoticed in the eyes of someone curious and creative. So when you think the man to dominate nature and has reached the top of the technology, do not feel so proud, because this has truly been a fluke.
