>the sun has to blow half off to carrington?

LOLโ€ฆ.

the sun has to fart and burp at the same time

it's volume would contain 100,000,000 earths

current solar wind is 5 protons per cubic centimeter

that means there is ONE GRAM of matter in 12 BILLION CUBIC KILOMETERS of space

>I've noticed that many scientific discoveries have supposedly been made "by accident" or "serendipitously".

wellโ€ฆ scientists themselves have speculated on this for centuries and there's a clear consensus

long ago, not enough was known for anyone to say what was foolish and what wasn't

and most discoveries were made by guys tinkering in their own basement, on their own dime

those days ended a century ago, when doing science became so expensive, only people who had some credentials could beg for enough money to do experiments

and the people with the purse strings are disinclined to drop coin on far-out ideas

so only experiments that had a good chance of success get funded, ie, ideas that barely go beyond what is already known

big breakthrus come from the small handful of people who still fund their own experiments, and are able to try "stupid" ideas

 

"Most secrets of knowledge have been discovered by plain and neglected men rather than by men of popular fame. And this is so with good reason. For the men of popular fame are busy on popular matters."
