Legend

Roentgen's discovery of X-Rays quickly led to Becquerel's discovery of radioactivity. He was investigating whether fluorescent substances also produced X-rays. As it happened, the fluorescent compound he was investigating was a compound of uranium. It was cloudy for several days, and he put the uranium sample on top of some photographic plates in a drawer. After a while, he decided to develop the plates (not stupidly; the uranium sample would have had a small amount of fluorescence from ambient light before he put it in the drawer). The plates were much more fogged than expected, and the explanation made history.

Necessity might be the mother of most (if not exactly all) inventions, but Accident is the name of the greatest of all inventions.

Just because something originates back to an accidental discovery it doesn't mean without that it wouldn't exist today. It can be thought of as it was ahead of its time.

How was Velcro "accidental"??? He saw an example in nature, did research, figured out how to make it work, and then eventually NASA came along wanting it. I don't see the "accident" ???

I remember during my business studies they taught me that one day at 3M they invented a glue that wasn't very good and then they started using it to stick little notes and pieces of paper around. Thus the post-it was born

So Velcro was not sold to an inventor by a time traveling Vulcan. Learn something new everyday!

Ай бұрын

it's not a suggestion, it is a fact that this is common in pretty much every household with a standard carafe drip-coffee maker... if the entire pot isn't drank immediately it eventually goes cold, but is still perfectly good to drink even 24hours+ later after a minute or two in the microwave. my family did this forever until we got a keurig single-cup-pod thingy. my mom and i stopped using a carafe style brewer altogether, but my dad still uses it most of the time and only uses the keurig when he is not willing to wait for a fresh pot to brew and there's none left to microwave. tbh, my dad should just quit using that thing since it's really, REALLY old and probably has like 10 yrs of mold in it since he NEVER and i mean NEVER cleans it, but he refuses to give it up cuz he thinks its the best coffee brewer he ever had (it's not even special, it's just no-name brand average to low cost brewer) lol

I remember seeing a movie about someone who made a fortune by inventing "silent Velcro". Don't remember what it was called.

Pink Floyd named their first album to reach the number one position in the album charts Atom Heart Mother. This was in 1970 and it was named after Constance Laddell who had the first pacemaker operation in Great Britain.

People always think great discoveries are found and people yell, "Eureka!" ... instead, the greatest discoveries have came from someone uttering the phrase, "Hmm, that's weird..."

There _was_ a line of microwave ovens branded "Radar Range" available for home kitchens, same size as any other microwave oven.

My cat has an invention, she's made a door knocker.. On her own she loosened a trim board that she pulls out and loudly snaps so that I can hear she wants in. Now when I want her home, I snap her door knocker and she trots home and in the door!

My great grandfather was on the initial team that was working on the microwave oven but his group lost out on achieving the patent. My great grandmother refused to have a microwave in her house because it was so dangerous and my great grandfather had developed some health issues due to working on the project

Silly Putty? Never heard of it. Oh, and modern matchsticks (safety match) were invented in Sweden.
