ISSUE87 "In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries."

In the battle of inquiry field, the beginners and experts both are standing on the frontline and achieve their success on the ground of their own advantages and merits. However, as for who are more likely to make important discoveries, as far as I am concerned, the new beginners are superior than the experts.

Generally speaking, once the rookies evolve in a new search ground, they tend to show much higher enthusiasm, curiosity, and suspicion than experts. With enthusiasm would they contribute full-heartedly to their work; with curiosity would they have persistent passion to explore the outside unknown world; with suspicion would they bravely stand out to challenge the no longer unpractical convention. Conversely, the veterans are deeply trapped in the learned theories, have less courage to confront authority, and more likely to be controlled by traditional notion and personal benefits.

In the area of science, many achievements are gained by novies who are relatively more initative and interested in common phenomenon and identify it as a new areas for research. Franklin is such a good case. One day the lightning astonished he who hardly expericened any professional learning about science. Nonetheless, he assumed that men might be able to catch the ligtning into life use, which was never came to brain of any other sicentists of that time who even thought it was ridiculous. It was his strong curiosity and believe propelled him finnally realized his dream. Many other scientists, such as Born, begin their profession researches as new comers with great passion into this area.

In arts, which is a field that requires unremitting infusion of new ideas and inspirations to catch others eye, rookies always bring about great change to arts schools. The experts are limited by their own characters and style, which will eventually lead to the tiredness of audience, while the new ones like a fresh stream slowly flow into people’ heart, because their ideas might absored from achieved fruition and then added with their own notion.

However, no deny there are certain spheres where successes are based on accumulated enough knowledge and expericence to test the feasility of ideas. For the reason that experts have these advantages, and thus can immediately judge a new phenomenon or thoery, their collected materials and insightness are far beyond those of the new comers. In instance, in the field of astronomy, Halley who caculated the orbit of now called Halley’s comet is indispensable from his years long observation and detailed records. On the other hand, we hardly heard that a beginner locate a new comet or success in astronomy. Besides that, with the rocketing cost in recent research, on the bais of expert past success or accumulation, governments are more willing to raise funds for them. This renders the experts own updated laboratories or instruments to engage in more significant requiry.

To put it into a nutshell, from the above analysis in different spheres, we should acquire that although either the veteran or the novices are indispensable for success, beginners are more likely to make important discoveries in the case that they constantly update their knowledge to the new notion and changeful circumstances, and ceaselessly learn from the amply experienced experts.
