曾经有一段时间，好奇心受到谴责。由于好奇心，我们的纯真被认为已经丧失。然而，这并没有阻止我们。今天，我们花费巨资试图在粒子加速器中重现创造的第一瞬间，纯粹是出于求知欲。现在似乎没有太大或太琐碎的问题。好奇心不再受到辱骂，现在受到颂扬。通过研究从现代科学的黎明到今天好奇心的兴起，我们可以研究它如何在科学中发挥作用，它是如何旋转，包装和销售的，以及科学的变化如何影响它可能提出的问题。
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.
