What are some examples of discovering truth out of curiosity

Tu Youyou found artemisinin.

Mendel invented the law of heredity.

There are quite a few. For example, Newton discovered gravitation.

Didn't my country's Tu Youyou team discover penicillin?

Newton was curious about the fall of an apple, persistent, and discovered gravity.

Truth is often discovered after a tireless search, however, persistently exploring one thing requires enough curiosity to support it, and curiosity is a prerequisite. Curiosity is often the first step to discovering the truth.

If people don't have curiosity, it's like a bird loses the ability to fly, a fish can't swim in the water, and a cheetah can't run on the grassland. "When the vigor of youth has faded and the curiosity to move forward has declined," Müller said, "life has no meaning."

The meaning of life lies in the process of generating the best curiosity and constantly discovering the truth.

Newton was obsessed with the fall of an apple and discovered gravity; The Wright brothers became curious about the blue sky and created the airplane through the observation and study of birds; Columbus was curious to speak, so he sailed the sea and discovered the ...... of the New WorldBehind all this success, the origin of greatness is the source of two words: "curiosity".

The reason why humans are called higher animals is because they have the ability to think. So why should people think? Yes, because of curiosity.

It is apes, not humans, who live in the zoo, and there is a reason why humans are so curious about the world. Curiosity drives humans to explore unknown areas they don't know about.

The results of these explorations and the laws of research are called "truths". Curiosity keeps humanity evolving, so what are the consequences of a lack of curiosity? For a person, a lack of curiosity can lead him to spend his life ordinary, doing nothing and only lamenting the success of others every day.

For society, the loss of curiosity leads to social stagnation, inability to develop, and social chaos.

For a country, if it loses its curiosity, it will be like the late Qing Dynasty, resting on its laurels, not learning new things and learning new knowledge, and gradually decline.

For humans, the loss of curiosity can only live in that primitive era of hairy and blood-drinking, and humans cannot use tools, cannot use fire, and may even eventually be wiped out by other species. If you don't have curiosity about things, how can you understand and create new things? How can we talk about discovering the truth?

If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. "Of course, curiosity alone is not enough. If you just dream every day, but don't understand and explore, then your daily curiosity will only add to your troubles.

Some people may say, "Isn't there an old saying that 'curiosity kills cats'?" I have to admit that there is some truth to this sentence, and some curiosity will indeed cost you. These curiosities are often aimed at secrets that others don't want to reveal or things that affect physical and mental health.

If we middle school students can't correctly distinguish between right and wrong, and have the curiosity of being obsessed with the Internet and indulging in mobile phones, such "curiosity" will often get lost in the glamour of the lights, and we can't help ourselves and fall into the "black whirlpool". Therefore, we must learn to stay away from these "black whirlpools", and even if we fall into it, we must withdraw in time and put our curiosity in a rightful and controllable position.

Examples of discovering truth out of curiosity are:

1. Watt invented the steam engine.

Watt once saw the boiling water on the stove when he was a child, and the steam pushed the lid of the kettle open, and Watt put the lid back but it was quickly opened again. Watt kept putting the lid around trying to find out why, and later Watt realized that it was the power of steam, which sparked his interest in steam and led to the invention of the steam engine.

2. Newton discovered the law of gravitation.

When the great physicist Newton saw the apple ripe when he was a child, he was curious when it fell down, and he wondered, why did everything on the earth fall to the ground after losing support, and not in other directions? Later, he finally discovered the law of gravitation.

3. Copernicus put forward the heliocentric theory.

Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus heard that sundials can use the shadow of the sun to determine time when he was in high school. He was very curious and asked the teacher about the principle of the sundial, and went home to find some waste materials, which were quickly made. He used the sundial he made to study the motion of the sun and the earth.

Copernicus later put forward the famous heliocentric theory, which overturned the erroneous geocentric theory that had been believed to be the sun revolving around the earth.

4. Becquerel discovered a radioactive substance - uranium.

In early 1896, shortly after Roentgen's discovery of X-rays, at a regular meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, the French scientist Poincaré presented the discovery and proposed a hypothesis. After the meeting, Becquerel hurried back to his laboratory to design experiments with his scientist father to test Poincaré's conjecture.

Experiments have found that as long as the compound contains uranium, it will emit this miraculous ray, which he called "uranium ray". In 1903, Becquerel, who discovered the radioactive element uranium, and the Curies, who subsequently discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium, won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year.
