Weird places where people get business ideas
One day George de Mestral took his dog out for a walk in the woods, and when they returned, he noticed burrs all over his pants, which won't come off. Looking at the burrs under a microscope, he noticed that they had tiny hooks attached themselves to the loop of threads in his pants. He saw the possibility of binding two materials reversibly in a simple fashion, and figures out a way to duplicate the hooks and loops, and the Velcro was born. Another famous chapter in history is that of Isaac Newton, who had escaped to his family's estate in Lincolnshire, and during a stroll around the farm, he observed an apple falling to the ground. He wondered why the apple fell to the ground instead of remaining suspended in the air. Following this experience, he embarked on a quest to develop his theory of universal gravitation. Other famous examples are of Nikola Tesla, Jules-Henri Poincare, and so on.
