失敗が世界をどう形作ったか | アルジュン・シン・パトナイク | TEDxKings College School

このTEDxKings College Schoolの講演では、ペニシリンやポリエチレンなど、何かがうまくいかなかったことから始まった科学と食品の発見を取り上げています。話し手は、関わった人々がその後何をしたのか、そして一部の事故が発見につながる一方で、時間の無駄に終わるものがある理由に注目しています。話し手のアルジュン・シン・パトナイクは、ウィンブルドンのKing's College School に通う8年生です。

• ペニシリンやポリエチレンなど、科学と食品における偶然の発見
• 予期しない失敗の後に人々が何をしたか
• 事故が発見になる場合とならない場合の違い

Arjun looks at a series of discoveries in science and in food that began with something going wrong, from penicillin to polyethylene. His interest is in what the people involved did next, and in why an accident becomes a discovery for some and a wasted afternoon for others. Arjun is a Year 8 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, who loves Mathematics and Science and is passionate about learning new things. Outside the classroom, he runs a school club with some of his friends. In his free time, he plays squash and cricket, and enjoys reading and the occasional video game. He is also an avid chess player and represents both the school and Surrey at chess. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
