Like the planet found by Herschel or dark energy or quantum mechanics or general relativity, all ideas that came because the data didn't quite match what we expected.
We have to do this if we're going to learn how to walk or talk or ride a bike or even quantum mechanics.
And there's others that are all about the toaster, and the engineers love to draw the mechanics of this.
Celestial mechanics is not making it so easy for an exchange of material between planets, and so if we were to discover life on those planets, it would be different from us.
We don't expect monkeys to solve problems in quantum mechanics, and as it happens, we can't expect our species to solve this problem either.
In other words: Are there processes, mechanisms, phenomena in living organisms that can only be explained with a helping hand from quantum mechanics?
I've spent more than three decades trying to get my head around quantum mechanics.
One of the founders of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr, said, If you're not astonished by it, then you haven't understood it.
This is the domain of quantum mechanics, and physicists and chemists have had a long time to try and get used to it.
It doesn't really require much in the way of quantum mechanics to explain it.
Quantum mechanics was developed in the 1920s.
If we imagine quantum mechanics or quantum physics, then, as the fundamental foundation of reality itself, then it's not surprising that we say quantum physics underpins organic chemistry.
You say, "Well, of course life ultimately must depend of quantum mechanics."
Of course quantum mechanics underpins life at some molecular level.
I don't blame the biologists for not having to or wanting to learn quantum mechanics.
And these are reductionist, deterministic chemical reactions, showing that, essentially, life is made of the same stuff as everything else, and if we can forget about quantum mechanics in the macro world, then we should be able to forget about it in biology, as well.
He was one of the founders of quantum mechanics in the 1920s.
But as I mentioned at the start, in the last 10 years, there have been experiments emerging, showing where some of these certain phenomena in biology do seem to require quantum mechanics.
It's speculative, but it's one of those questions that is so important that if quantum mechanics plays a role in mutations, surely this must have big implications, to understand certain types of mutations, possibly even those that lead to turning a cell cancerous.
Another example of quantum mechanics in biology is quantum coherence, in one of the most important processes in biology, photosynthesis: plants and bacteria taking sunlight, and using that energy to create biomass.
We don't know if it's the correct explanation, but wow, wouldn't it be exciting if quantum mechanics helps birds navigate?
She had to learn the finer mechanics of sales when she was starting her practice, and this skill now helps her write compelling pitches to editors.
This result, that light sometimes behaves like a particle and sometimes behaves like a wave, led to a revolutionary new physics theory called quantum mechanics.
One was Einstein's theory of relativity, the other was arguably even more revolutionary: quantum mechanics, a mind-meltingly strange yet stunningly successful new way of understanding the microworld, the world of atoms and particles.
It's thanks to relativity and quantum mechanics that we've learned what the universe is made from, how it began and how it continues to evolve.
Relativity and quantum mechanics appear to suggest that the universe should be a boring place.
Relativity and quantum mechanics tell us that it has two natural settings, a bit like a light switch.
Now, if you use good old quantum mechanics to work out how strong dark energy should be, you get an absolutely astonishing result.
The hope was that a complete combination of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which is the theory of the universe at grand scales, with quantum mechanics, the theory of the universe at small scales, might provide a solution.
The answer involves a bit of quantum mechanics, but don't worry, we'll start with a rainbow.
