The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of original discoveries. It suggests that once an original discovery has been made, it becomes so clear and evident that it may seem as if it was an obvious finding all along. This is because groundbreaking ideas often redefine our perspectives and challenge conventional wisdom, making them initially difficult to perceive. However, once these discoveries are made and their significance is recognized, they become ingrained in our collective knowledge, making their originality appear self-evident in hindsight.
