  • There
  • was
  • a
  • time
  • when
  • curiosity
  • was
  • condemned.Through
  • curiosity,
  • our
  • innocence
  • was
  • said
  • to
  • be
  • lost.
  • Yet
  • this
  • hasn't
  • deterred
  • us.
  • Today
  • we
  • spend
  • vast
  • sums
  • trying
  • to
  • recreate
  • the
  • first
  • instants
  • of
  • creation
  • in
  • particle
  • accelerators,
  • out
  • of
  • pure
  • desire
  • to
  • know.
  • There
  • seems
  • now
  • to
  • be
  • no
  • question
  • too
  • vast
  • or
  • too
  • trivial.
  • No
  • longer
  • reviled,
  • curiosity
  • is
  • now
  • celebrated.By
  • examining
  • the
  • rise
  • of
  • curiosity
  • from
  • the
  • dawn
  • of
  • modern
  • science
  • to
  • today,
  • we
  • can
  • examine
  • how
  • it
  • functions
  • in
  • science,
  • how
  • it
  • is
  • spun,
  • packaged
  • and
  • sold,
  • and
  • how
  • the
  • changing
  • shape
  • of
  • science
  • influences
  • the
  • kinds
  • of
  • questions
  • it
  • may ask.
