What is the role of curiosity in scientific discovery?

How did you find PF?

Google search for a manual brought me to a 10 year old post here.

I am a retired Electrical Engineer and patent portfolio manager for a large communication equipment company. I am also an "Extra class" Amateur Radio licensee and an avid disc golfer. Of those last two, the latter requires more knowledge of advanced physics! :-) One of my favorite quotes is from a Peter Cook / Dudley Moore comedy bit.

"The trouble is. All this knowledge I've got hold of is useless."

I feel that way so often.
Yet, I'm happy to share what little I've got!
