Description: Shows that seemingly trivial queries or assumptions lead to a deeper understanding of how science works. Who would have thought that scientists would turn to the hypothesis 'all swans are white' to determine the stability of the entire universe? Or that if we choose to spend our money on other people it might make us happier?
