While invention is the process of creating something new from scratch, discovery is the process of finding something that already exists in nature. We see how, in many cases, these two processes are closely related, with one often leading to the other.
This book engagingly analyzes the similarities and differences between invention and discovery, and how they have been applied in modern science and technology. It highlights the duality between the creative process of invention (Tesla) and the scientific process of discovery (Einstein), with each chapter exploring an invention and how it relates to one or more scientific discoveries. Like a game of chess, but with the key difference that in every case, both players win.
