How A Melted Bar Of Chocolate Changed Our Kitchen Analysis

Many great scientists have found lost cities and great treasures, how? By making mistakes. Mistakes have led to great discoveries and rich people. Many errors lead to lost treasure, making new things, and you can learn from them; so you do not make the same mistake again. Therefore, mistakes are crucial part of a discovery.

Although, scientist’s main goal is to find treasure from a certain place, they get lost and make a whole new city, and even more treasure. From the source "Lost Cities, Lost Treasure" It talked about a man- whose name is Heinrich Schliemann- dreamed of discovering the lost land of Troy, but during his adventure he had made his way to California where he found gold. This shows that even though their mind had been set to find this certain place adventurers get sidetracked and discover other things: like gold. Also, Schliemann became an archaeologist in the 1800s; he had discovered treasure in foreign lands like Greece. From the text it had stated “he loved Greek culture so much that him and his wife names their children Agamemnon and Andromache." Lastly, you can learn different languages from the other cultures. From

the article it had said “at the end of his life, he spoke 13 languages, including his native German."

Another key point, is that from mistakes you can create new things.

For example Percy Spencer discovered how to help you cook your dinner in five minutes by only a few errors. From the text, "How a Melted Bar of Chocolate Changed Our Kitchen," Spencer was standing near the Magnetron-which was a machine that generated microwaves- he noticed that his bar of chocolate has melted, where he had a moment of realization. Later that day he had asked for popcorn kernels, then he put them near the heat. This is how Spencer had discovered the microwave. Even though, he had discovered it, it took more than 20 years for the microwave to be introduced to the public. Another point from the article it said “Without mistakes, no discoveries can be made." This means that without that chocolate melting incident the microwave could not have been

made.

On the other side of the coin, many people think that mistakes are not an intrical part of making discoveries. From the article, "Lost Cities, Lost Treasure," it had stated that Schliemann had took credit from Calvert’s discoveries. They also destroyed ancient land and artifacts lain undisturbed for centuries.

However, from the quote in the last source it had said "We learn wisdom from failure more than from success." Meaning that the more mistakes you make the better your discoveries are. Also without mistakes it's hard to know whether or not your data is correct, because from the article it said that the microwave went through many years of perfecting its model before it went onto shelves. Therefore it is very important to make mistakes in an invention.

Mistakes have led to great discoveries over the years. Without Spencer's chocolate melting we would not have the microwave, and without the mistake of having Schliemann help Calvert with his discovery we would not have found the Lost City of Troy. That is why making mistakes are important to our history.
