Description: 物理學家蘇西許希說，看似沒有意義的科學研究，有可能會導致不凡的發現。在這場演說兼科技展示中，她說明了許多我們的現代科技都與幾世紀前由好奇心所驅使之實驗有關——並提出說明，支持投資更多這類的研究，好讓我們對世界有更深刻的了解。

物理學家蘇西許希說，看似沒有意義的科學研究，有可能會導致不凡的發現。在這場演說兼科技展示中，她說明了許多我們的現代科技都與幾世紀前由好奇心所驅使之實驗有關——並提出說明，支持投資更多這類的研究，好讓我們對世界有更深刻的了解。

支持由好奇心所驅使的研究

Many world-changing technologies, from X-rays to smartphones, began as curiosity-driven experiments with no obvious use. The discovery of the electron, a particle 2,000 times lighter than hydrogen, seemed pointless at first but revolutionized science and technology. Early particle accelerators opened doors to lifesaving cancer treatments and advanced imaging. Investing in research for its own sake often leads to innovations that transform society in ways no one can predict.
