Abstract: This paper is about curiosity and its crucial role in human nature. If people weren’t curious, we wouldn’t be able to fly around the world, connect instantly and realistically with family and colleagues around the globe, or share what we find fascinating with the rest of the world through Tweets, links, and posts. Humankind has always wanted to find out how things work: How do you make fire? How could you conquer the oceans? Where does the world end? What is the smallest thing that exists in the universe? We’ve answered many of these questions, but so many are still left unanswered. We’ve come quite far, but all the things we have learned about our world – the Earth, our solar system, our galaxy, and the universe – are only 5 percent of the whole story.
