“The basis of the discovery is imagination, careful reasoning and experimentation where the use of knowledge created by those who came before is an important component.”

There are almost unlimited possibilities for making discoveries and to uncover the unknown. It is in the nature of the discovery that it can not be planned or programmed.

The other ants follow the path immediately in order to benefit from the finding and continue to do so as long as the supply is rich.

On the contrary it consists of surprises and appears many times in the most unexpected places.

Every time a significant discovery is being made one sets in motion a tremendous activity in laboratories and industrial enterprises throughout the world.

It is like the ant who suddenly finds food and walks back to the anthill while sending out material called food attracting substance.

There is a great difference between discoveries and inventions. With discoveries, one can always be skeptical, and many surprises can take place. In the case of inventions, surprises can really only occur for people who have not had anything to do with it.

In completing one discovery we never fail to get an imperfect knowledge of others.

Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries

With so many scientific achievements we know so little of where we came from and where we are going. But we know even less of the most important discovery of all.

There are many, many books I’ve read and I think this is quite naïve actually because we all just try to uncover something.

But the universe at large is full of questions that we still don’t know anything about and there will be always young people brilliant who are going to make new discoveries.

What matters are not the truths other people tell us or the practices that we are able to mimic, but the spiritual discoveries we make through personal investigation.

Serendipity is the way to make discoveries, by accident but also by sagacity , of things one is not in quest of.
