why do we discover things?

our thirst for knowledge on what happened before we were around

I find it cool for one to know spectroscopy. especially pros in them\nhaving the "ability" to find properties of matter by investigating light, sound, or particles that are emitted, absorbed or scattered by the matter under investigation. its a BIG wow!

just because we want to know it all . so we act as if we do, besides it is part of the human nature. and if you are relgous you would defently find the answer in the holy book . as it mostly explanes the human nature.

Its discovered a lot of new galaxies, moons, comets, etc.  It is finding out lots about black holes etc.  I think astromers are finding out new things about our universe all the time thanks to the Hubble Telescope.

Creativity helps us by allowing us to see things in a different light. It saves us from being similar to everyone else. Our creativity is a representation of our individuality.

No.\n\nI can always find a real world explanation for things that seem "mysterious" to me. You just have to be willing to question things and go out and look for the real answer.

Curiosity?\n\nNeed for information?\n\nOther people, other minds, are our best source of information.\n\nIt's fun, too!\n\nWhat a strange question!

it has afforded us an insight to some incredible discoveries. space age designs and materials are used in nearly every conceivable consumer product from head to toe and beyond. so it has helped in many ways.

It makes you normal. Curiosity is one of mankinds greatest traits. Curiosity leads to knowledge. All great inventions, theories, and achievements got their start by someone wondering how something happens, why it happens, or if there is a better way. The only people that will tell you there is something wrong with it have already quit being curious based on limited knowledge or a lack of desire to further themselves. Go for it.

Why don't you look through the encyclopedia until you find something that interest you. When you find something, you can start your investigation right there.

Realistically? The search for knowledge has led to, or had a significant contribution to, the development of microwaves, radar, radio, superconductivity, computers, refridgeration, digital cameras, the internet and much more. When the theories that underpin most of these inventions were first discovered and tested, many people asked the same question - how does this help me? And then 20 years later some clever engineer invents a little box that heats up food. So give it time - almost every invention know to man once started as someone saying "I wonder how this works?"

There are an estimated dozens of thousands of lifeforms still undiscovered on our planet.\n\nInvention: you came up with something, had an idea and made it work.\n\nDiscovery: you came across something no one else has, officially or unofficially.\n\nThere is speculation from astronomers that there is another system like ours. Opinion: there has to be.
