Journal Entry #5

An Idea Is Not Just An Idea.

            After watching the video of "How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries" by Adam Savage I thought to myself that what he was talking about is true. It only takes few seconds to a make a simple question that will last long enough until we find the meaning of that question or memory. It simple to ask questions too but if you never put the necessary time to solve for it then it will only be an empty though. Will he be speaking I could stop to think how the people he talks about were no different from us, as savage stated they are no different from us they just work a little bit harder. Will is true people who often make a difference is not because they are born smart, they learn just like all the other and through time the develop a talent for that certain subject that make them different, but they must work harder.

            My only though when watching the video and seeing how smart are people that identify these new terms and create new concepts. For example, Aristoteles who was the man that not only develop the term geography but also pant the idea that the earth was round and the measurements. He did all this and the only think that aspire him was a simple letter that stated that when you look at water well we will see a reflection of our selves and also, we will cover the sun and moon in a round shape. For a person like me that won’t meant anything but for him it was a whole new discovery. With this I concluded that people often view scientist like Aristoteles as genius but they don’t think about themselves reaching those geniuses because they don’t want to try because they are scare of falling.
