3 small negligence but not change the history of the world

The best thing in my opinion is not necessarily good. The old man has the sentence: The man does not count heavenly. Small mistakes sometimes bring us amazing results.

Once mixing two strange things together, once rejecting someone, once missed the words, . whether accidentally or intentionally, only a small event but brought incredible results. The stories of 'real and real people' below will show us the positive side of mistakes.

1. Penicillin was invented by . forgetting to cover the lid of the laboratory bottle

During World War I, many soldiers were killed because the infected wound was too heavy, but the antiseptic was not effective enough to disinfect the wound, so many soldiers had to receive painful deaths. , slowly in the helpless look of the medical army.

Dr. Alexander Fleming , a nearly 40-year-old bacteriologist who worked at Saint Mary's Hospital in London, sent an article to medical journal Lancet, explaining why military antiseptics use even even worsening the wound.

'Thanks to PENICILLIN, he will be going home' , penicillin - an unintentional invention that changes the world.

In fact, they only work on surface antiseptic, but with deep wounds, they are completely useless. He advised the army to stop using those antiseptic substances but failed, because the 'fairy medicine ' has not yet appeared, the wounded soldiers still have to writhe with their pain.

At the end of the World War, obsessed with the slow and painful deaths of soldiers, he devoted much of his research to making hundreds of experiments to find a powerful antibacterial agent. But what he did as he treated sand for gold, perhaps had to do thousands more experiments with thousands of other compounds to expect results.

In the summer of 1928, after a long stalemate, he decided to return to Scotland to rest for a few days. And this is the turning point of the story, when he returned to the lab, he discovered he had forgotten to cover some of the bacterial culture dishes.

And on a culture plate, where there's a lot of strange green mold. Under the microscope, he was shocked and pleased to find that all the bacteria around the mold die. On March 7, 1929, it was known that the miraculous compound was named penicillin .

'When I woke up on September 28, 1928, I had no intention of making a medical revolution with the discovery of the world's first antimicrobial agent or a' killer of bacteria '. But perhaps that's what I did, "said Dr. Alexander Fleming.

Only by a small negligence of the doctor, he did not close the lid of the implant, he helped save millions of people in World War II in particular and millions of people were injured later. In 1945, he received the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for his great contributions to world medicine.

2. Coca Cola comes to us through an accident

World-famous drinks, popular from sidewalks to luxury restaurants, are trusted at all ages. Almost every student festival has Coca Cola or its brothers.

However, few people know that Coca-Cola has come to the world in a very unexpected way.American pharmacist John Pemberton , has a chronic headache and relies heavily on morphine analgesics. He knew he needed to find another medicine to stop his pain, but could not relieve pain forever.

One day in May 1886, pharmacist Pemberton investigated experimenting mixing kola seeds, damiana flowers (aromatherapy flowers against anxiety, stress) and coca hoping to create a medicinal wine that could save the his head hurts like a hammer.

But the work he created was surprisingly delicious, the pharmacist was surprised to realize the business potential of this wonderland. He called it 'Pemberton's Coca French Wine' and began commercializing the product, selling for 5 cents a cup of coca (about 1 thousand dong).

The bottles of Coca-Cola at the table, are you familiar?

He continued to improve his product with the help of Willis Venable and the medical expert, and finally, carbonated soft drink was born . Until now and afterwards, the formula for creating Coca-Cola will always be a secret.

A small experiment brought him the most famous drink in history, bringing the name of pharmacist John Pemberton into the great line of beverage industry. Perhaps, the money brought back from his Coca also destroyed the persistent headache.

3. The accumulation of ice cream sticks

Ice cream sticks are close friends of every home, no one can resist a cool food, good taste, eye-catching colors and easy to enjoy everywhere.

The first ice cream cone was created by only 11-year-old Frank Epperson living in San Francisco. One winter evening in 1905, Frank craved a glass of soft drink, and he put soda powder in the water, using a stick to stir. Done, Frank did not drink but left a glass of water on the veranda, he was tired all day, so Frank went to sleep to forget the cup.

Ice cream sticks is actually a frozen drink on sticks.

That night the temperature dropped very low, the boy's cup of ice was frozen. The next morning, Frank was both surprised and excited to take his "water cup" up, picked up the stick and . Bum! The world's first ice cream cone was born. A block of ice with sweet, extremely cool, attached to a stick, Frank innocent mischievous gave the world an invaluable gift thanks to his absurdity.

Ice cream quickly won the hearts of children, then everyone. Up to now, on average, there are 2 billion pieces of ice cream sticks consumed all over the world, with extremely diverse flavors: chocolate, vanilla, green beans, red beans, coconut milk, fruit flavor, .

As of that day, Frank always drank a glass of water without forgetting on the terrace, so perhaps we still only know how to drink with ice flake.

Now we can enjoy all kinds of creams with different flavors.

Although many mistakes cause catastrophic consequences, there are also negligence that bring surprising results. Even so, the probability of such cases occurring is extremely small. We should not expect the miracle to happen, but be diligent in our work, one day the miracle will come.
