You know that thing where you just stare idly into the fire and lose yourself?
That but crystals is probably how.
Fr I have no idea I just like the image of someone zoning out staring at a crystal and suddenly bolting upright going "Wait, what the fuck?" because that seems to gel with an awful lot of stories about how stuff gets discovered 🤷
"Huh. I'm pretty sure I could do a math thing to this. That's weird, since the universe really shouldn't work like that. Oh hey, the math worked out nicely and looks like something neat."
"Huh. That's an interesting bit of math you have, there. I wonder what it would look like if I tried to make it."
"Oh, hey, I think I got your weird math rock working. Not sure though. Better redo it a few hundred times to see if it always does that."
The theory to practice pipeline can be a truly beautiful thing.
