Hey peeps,

We're studying Discovery for our AoS at school right now, and an upcoming speech involves talking about intensely meaningful discoveries. I don't really understand it, so would any of ya be kind enough to explain? And, in the context of A Short History of Nearly Everything, if possible?

Cheers

Remove "intensely". "Intensely meaningful discoveries" just means "meaningful discoveries". "Meaningful" usually just means the discovery impacts someone.

Ah makes sense. Would intensely meaningful discoveries be closely linked to impacts on a personal and emotional level or rather a societal level?

The syllabus states that fresh and intensely meaningful discoveries are made and instigated by five key factors, in which a discovery can be emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual and creative. That means for example learning that the uncle you always had who was strict or mean had an awful past and one day something reminds him of his family and thus an emotional discovery, where he begins to show emotion and discovers that he actually shows emotion by sobbing. Similarly an intellectual discovery could be a child discovering he has the ability to remember more than the average human being. Therefore discovery is influenced by the five factors in which people experience new, lost, forgotten or concealed things. That's what I think of this ehhhhhh Discovery rubric lol
