40 Times People Got Into Accidental Science Experiments And Here Are The Best Ones
It’s no secret that some of the biggest things in human history were discovered utterly by accident. Penicillin and X-rays, to name just a few, are among them.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that game-changing inventions happen that often. And if Fleming returned from his two-week vacation to realize his petri dish had bacterial colonies that wouldn’t grow near the mold, it doesn’t mean two weeks by the sea would give you similar results.
That doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to play with chance and see where quasi-scientific DIY experiments will take us. Below is a collection of some of the most mildly interesting cases, like leaving a summer roll on a desk for 4 days to find it sprouting or quickly switching temperatures on a marble. Don’t ask why or what for—some things are meant to be "just because."

There's no way this is "accidental." This type of photography is called "light painting" and takes a lot of careful planning.

As the turn of the wheel goes, some of the discoveries and inventions without which we couldn’t imagine our lives today were made solely by accident.
For example, all-time fave breakfast staple Cornflakes were made by Will and John Kellogg back in 1894. Due to their Seventh-day Adventist practices, they were experimenting with vegetarian food. As the story goes, some of the wheat went stale and they tried rolling it flat and baking it. It got popular, so they tried a maize alternative which turned out to be even better.

This Is What Happens When You Heat An Ordinary Marble Over A Flame Then Immediately Drop It Into Cold Water
I think you mean dark opal, cause fire opals have red in them, but ik what you mean
Load More Replies...We used to make jewelry out of these 50 years ago -- except we heated the marbles on a jelly roll pan in the oven.
That was a big hobby in the 1960s. People made jewelry out of them, among other things.
Interestingly, the first popsicle is said to have been invented by an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson in 1905. The kid left a container of soda and water with its mixing stick inside on a porch overnight. In the morning, the original popsicle, marked as an Epsicle, was born thanks to a cold night and one child’s distraction.
Meanwhile, the jacuzzi was invented by Candido Jacuzzi back in the 1960s when the man made a whirlpool bath for his 15-month-old son who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis.

Load More Replies...Not many people know that safety glass, also known as laminated glass, was also discovered by complete chance. When French chemist Édouard Bénédictus knocked a glass beaker from the top shelf in his laboratory, he noticed that it shattered, but did not break completely.
It turns out, the beaker contained cellulose nitrate. It’s a type of plastic that left a film on the inside of the glass. The patent was filed in 1909 and is still in production today!

Oh lord, I can see the conspiracy nuts now, "Their making chemtrails from the windmills now!"
Haha! Where did I put my tinfoil hat again?
Load More Replies...Very pretty. In case anyone is curious how this happens - the air above the fog is super-saturated, so it only takes a minor physical disturbance (e.g. turbulence caused by the turbine blades) to cause it to condense into water droplets. Same mechanism as airplane contrails.
Great visual of how the turbulence from leading turbines affects the downwind turbines. Has to lower the efficiency.
This is what happens when you feed your pet windmills beans. Read the owner's manual, people.

Probably not since they'd be naturally adapted to water unlike humans which is why our hands get pruney for better grip. Either that or their skin wouldn't be truly human-like and more fish-oriented.

Them same happens to the skin on the soles of your feet. Its thoughts to be the body's response to being in water for sustained periods. The wrinkling of the skin creates added grip for standing and handling objects.
For the last few years, randomly (it seems,) my hands will get like this while being in the shower for only like 15-20 minutes. It will happen for a few days to a few weeks, then it goes away and my hands act normal again in water. Anyone have any clue what it could be? It's extremely uncomfortable, and my doctor, (and apparently Google,) don't know what it is.
Oh how frustrating! I have undiagnosed weird stuff too have been searching for answers for 14 years now. My Group of doctors are inching towards a diagnosis and it seems like we may be close (and then we got shut in for the year...) Not trying to be "that person" because I know how annoying the suggestions can be, but if you're just starting your search for answers, I hope this is helpful....I've found that a good Naturopath usually will do more detailed testing and they tend to know more about obscure conditions.

I wonder where this was taken. Where I live trees are trimmed so they can't interfere with power lines. Also wonder what it would look like with foliage.
Looked it up, apparently has nothing to with power lines but how the tree is trimmed. Maybe it was trimmed in an attempt to grow around the power lines. Trees and power lines don't mix safely, the branches can catch on fire and kids climbing the trees can get shocked.
With nothing to do with power lines I mean it doesn't grow this way because of touching the power lines, instead a human made it grow this way on purpose.
Load More Replies...That's weird. Where I live there are a lot of trees close to or even touching power lines and they look normal...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this growth isn't bc of the power line...

This Is What Happens To Expired Pizza Dough
It's growing yeast - those bubbles are fermentation.
Load More Replies..."Expiry" of food is not a thing. Dates are not regulated and can mean whatever the manufacturer wants. Generally these dates are "best before" meaning the food will lose quality but not usually be unsafe to eat. Of course that can change if the food is improperly stored, but continuing to use "expiry" around food is both meaningless and misleading.
That actually looks like it could be used as dough. Just punch it down. Maybe add it to some additional flour and water.
What Happens When A Biodegradable Shopping Bag Degrades. It Gets Everywhere
Biodegradable doesn't mean it's from bioplastic. It only means it loses primary shape in nature and degrades to smaller particles. If it's biodegradable, but made from oil (gasoline kind, not eating kind), then that makes for loads of microplastics, which is horrible for the environment. Biodegradable from bioplastic - great (degrades to molecular level), from oil - suuuper bad (degrades to microplastics). Technically microplastics can degrade to molecular level, but not in a few lifetimes.
