How will the next great discovery be driven?
"It begins when a question is inquired that requires for an answer to be searched. Through this searching, and researching, for an answer to a question, therefore leads to a thorough investigation, and further exploration that inspires future generations to innovate new solutions. Discovery is never-ending, ever-changing, and the end result of our persistence at work. (A Discovery Methodology)."
This is what came to mind after reading the text by Kylie Gordon "The #NextGreatDiscovery" on Stanford News. http://news.stanford.edu/features/2015/nextgreatdiscovery/ In it, 7 characteristics of discovery are illustrated, Inquire, Research, Investigate, Explore, Inspire, Innovate, Persist.
We are also reminded of the aims of basic science, and that is to advance knowledge. We have no way of knowing that which is taking place in labs and simulators will come to become a part of and/or impact our environment and daily lives.
How will the next great discovery be driven? it is difficult to say for certain, but certainly it is easy to say that even the most basic of sciences should be supported. They are the building blocks which are connected, and taken apart, and reconnected in new arrangements. It is of great importance to fund and invest scientific work, to then be able to continue the next great discovery.
