    About this Episode

    Trial and error is one of the most tried and true scientific philosophies for discovery and invention.  Oddly enough, some of our most amazing discoveries have come from the "error" side of things.

    Some of the greatest minds on earth didn't figure out some of our most amazing discoveries without a little luck and few accidents.

    If necessity is the mother of invention, then surely accidents are its ornery step-children.
