Undoubtedly, we have all experienced awe and wonder upon seeing a new feat of technological development: the first launch into space; submarines diving to the bottom of the ocean; iPhones (you get the point). But what truly makes those experiences inspiring is their seeming effortlessness; like they were birthed into reality as if they were just meant to exist. Now, we all know that isn’t true, but we can’t help feeling a sense of child-like excitement with the magic that comes from seeing a discovery for the first time. So what about the adult-like excitement? What about the rush that comes from understanding that a space shuttle is able to withstand heat of around 3,000°F upon returning to Earth because of over 30,000 exoskeleton-like tiles essentially made of sand? Or that the first navigable submarine was made by covering an egg-shaped wooden frame with leather and adding oars? What about all the little sparks of genius which together are able to bring a concept into reality?Â
