在所有的研究領域中,新手要比專家更有可能獲得重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
In the contemporary society, we human have gained maybe the most thorough and complicate knowledge system than any other eras before, but unfortunately also the most enormous acquirement of more important discoveries which be desired by the development of almost every realms. So this is the question affronted us: in any field of inquiry, whether the beginner or expert would the most efficient discoverer? To this question, people may offer their respective points based on their personal stands. As a beginner, my point is that the beginner will play more important role in the endless progress searching for knowledge.
In the first place, I have to concede that we can not efficiently make any discoveries without the help of expert. Expert is a kind of people who own such characteristics--experience accumulated from the practice and time; knowledge gained through long terms hard-working; also the high psychological level based on undergoing diverse situations. And with the experience they own we could make a short avenue to new knowledge by avoiding making mistakes; the knowledge they own may help us to handle the base on which we could infer to somewhat discoveries;and only with their mature psychological level could we make rational decisions when we encounter some difficulties. All these are just could be brought by the expert and could lead us a better way to new discoveries.
However, the most significant factor of discoveries is something that is the expert hard to brought to us--innovation. But to the beginner with such a typical factor--lack of experience especially that of practice, it is maybe more easier, even instinctive, to obtain innovation which could lead progress to make discoveries. The scarcity of experience does not restrain the beginner's to make somewhat contributions to make discoveries, to the contrary, it keep the beginner's mind on a condition which could produce some illusions that may be eliminated by experience such as the expert own. Such illusions, maybe useless or relateless on the surface,could maintain a lot possibilities that every one may could lead a astonishing discoveries in every realms--just consider the Brain Storm mean that have been applied to produce a lot of new ways to solve difficult problems and some eventually lead a innovation or a new discovery. So the beginner's influence to making discoveries may be the decisive one.
In addition, the benefits of the expert that I just mentioned in the second paragraph maybe also a double-edged sword. This point may be paradox but it is on the correct philosophical side--consider things from both positive and negative aspects. Their experience could also restrain their imaginations and creativetations; the "accomplished" knowledge they own may be a fetter to hamper them learn and accept some new theories; latest but not least, some of the expert have not sufficient courage to question something that may lead important discoveries because they can not afford the risk of losing their position and famous, just consider what will happen if the Einstein, when his still a beginner of enormous physical academicals world, have not dare to question the Newton's classic physical system? But the beginner could just question what they do not agree with or doubt to without any apprehensions about losing something-------they have nothing to lose. So contrast to the beginner, the expert is less likely to make any discoveries even important ones.
