How are discoveries made?

Once journalists asked the famous Einstein how discoveries are made, who is suitable for it, and what is needed for it.

He answered them:

− Oh, it’s simple. First, a gathering of scholars and researchers is convened. They meet to harmonize, connect, and verify all previous scientific achievements. After completing this task, they focus on reaching a conclusion to determine what can be accepted and what cannot.

However, sometimes one of the scholars arrives late to the meeting.

As a result, they do not find out what is possible and impossible, and without knowing that, they make a discovery.
