let's discuss..the human sciences..luck or curiosity

[spy4me]

Along the centuries, the human beings searched for cures, energy sources, alternative sources, other lives and maybe just for surviving, many things happened just by accident, and became the rules of our life, let's take the simplest example; Isaac Newton was taking a break under shady tree thinking about his day, when an apple fell on his head, since then, Newton made a lot of theories about natural phenomena. That incident is not just a symbol that refers to that great man, but also a strong proof about the human science source.

The question is : What led Newton to all that? His good luck or his wide curiosity?

What about the human sciences in general? Luck or curiosity?

If someone else, not Newton, was in the same situation, would it be the same?

Can we say that the discoveries, the inventions, fed on the curiosity of lucky men?

your opinions are most needed

you're right but i can replace the word accident by disteny cz every thing happened or will happen in this whole word is a destiny
also i think that they have more curiosity than us so its is not just luck its hard work.
thanks for the topic

Hi Spy ! well honestly the questions you raised are so philosophical ...i mean as a simlpe person .. i cannot answer them ... but i encourage you at the mean time

Thinking and love of discovery

befor i start i want to say something off_topic when i read the name of newton and his discovery i laughed a lot because it happend to me a funny story with my professor of philosophy about this story in the baccalaureate
i'am sorry spy if my provinces disturbed you
by the way the topic is very important but as my sister zineb said the questioons are philosophical

in my opinion if newton does not have a curiosity so why he search about the reason for the fall of the apple to the ground and made a lot of theories
and if someone else in place of newton; in this case depends on the extent of use the person his mind
but i think at the present if there is someone else in place of newton and fall in front of him apple he will eat it and go

i forget to tell you that i'am very weak in philosophy

well, thank you all for your interaction
i dont know how does this need a philosophical thinking, i guess it just requires a simple point of view, actually i wrote this topic because i was inspired by a text i have read talking about the role of luck in human discoveries.
anyway, your opinions are always important for me
waiting for more views

salam alaikom
as you mentioned spy this topic needs only a simple point of view which is the answer of the question in other hand it might be like philosophy
i think that everything has a reason and things that happen suddenly show us a lot of mysteries
and here comes the humans curiosity role
so it depends on the curiosity, love, .... achieve success or make things true
for me, i think if we love smthg we ll do our best without any doubt to get it
so good luck everybody in discovering, inventing and making dreams true.
and be like Isaac the lucky scientist
