9 Science Experiments That Led To Accidental Discoveries!

From medicine to electricity to gravity itself! Join me as we show you experiments that led to amazing discoveries!

9. Penicillin
Accidental discoveries can be just as impactful as planned ones. Take Penicillin, for example. Discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928 while working on something else, this chance finding revolutionized medicine and changed the world forever.

8. Gravity
Throughout history, many principles once thought divine or unquestionable are now understood through science. Gravity, once mere acceptance, was unlocked by Newton's experiments, revealing the grand workings of the universe.

7. Microwaves
Let's revisit another accidental discovery—you'll be glad this one happened. When you consider the humble microwave, you might assume it was meticulously planned before its creation, given its ubiquitous presence today. But that's not the case. Like many discoveries, the microwave was stumbled upon by accident, thanks to Percy Spencer.

6. Evolution
The question of life's origins on Earth has sparked endless debate. From the evolution of human forms to the development of our minds, it's a topic that captivates many. Amidst the ongoing debate, one principle stands strong: the theory of Evolution. Watch our video and subscribe for weekly updates!

5. X-Rays
There are so many things in the modern world today that are taken for granted in regards to their discoveries. Back in 1895, the idea of X-Rays weren't even on the minds of doctors and scientists the world over. Which is almost scary to think about because they are now a standard medical practice, even being given for free under the right insurance plan.

4. DNA
James Watson and Francis Crick, from the US and England respectively, made one of history's greatest discoveries on February 28, 1953. They identified and captured an X-ray image of DNA, reshaping our understanding of humanity. DNA, with its helix-pattern, holds markers defining our traits, from height to hair and eye color.

3. The Pacemaker
The heart is crucial to our health, but it can suffer from irregular beating due to various conditions. Pacemakers are invaluable for restoring regular heart rhythms. Surprisingly, sometimes a wrong part meant for another machine causes such issues.

2. The Telephone
Where would we be without the telephone? Cell phones wouldn't exist (ok, that might be something we could do without in some cases), communication across the world would be much more primitive, and so on and so forth. And all of this was possible because of the rigorous experiments involving Alexander Graham Bell.

1. Play-Doh
What? I can't have a little fun with the final topic?
Play-Doh is one of the biggest kids toys in the world, but it didn't start out that way. This special clay was made back in the 1930's by Noah McVicker, but he didn't intend it as a kids toy. Rather, it was a wallpaper cleaner! No, seriously.

Unfortunately Penacilin isn't life-saving for me. I'll die if I have it. I'll die if I don't have it. S... most antibiotics aren't available to me. Yeah, I'm part of the group that you can't save if they get sick. Pray that I don't get really crook!
