Three Greatest Natural Discoveries that
Drive Businesses
Introduction
Three scientific developments have arguably been responsible for the highest number
of business possibilities, outside energy sources such as oil and electricity. They are
businesses on their own, but also make work and money in many related industries.
Explosives Idea 84 have many peaceful applications, but are also terribly important in
the business opportunities opened up by war Idea 72. Another contributor to war,
radio Idea 85, also enables all types of communication devices. These devices in their
turn make possible the Internet, space travel, the television industry and many others.
But we start with a scientific phenomenon that leads to requirements for all
sorts of professions and products. Because of it we need more police, a whole branch
of criminal law prosecutions, a large percentage of the prison system, bouncers (big
doormen), drying-out clinics, more hospitals, to name but a few. It is of course the
discovery of fermentation.
Idea 83 – Fermentation
‘O thou invisible spirit of wine! If thou hast no name to be known by, let us call
thee devil.’
William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
What must the first person to discover the effect of fermented vegetation on his or
her mind and feelings thought? How easy it must have been even at the earliest stage
to trade such euphoria.
