User:Tenrub/New knowledge

Knowledge can be new to the individual, or new to the human race. From the individual's perspective new knowledge for that individual may be acquired or created. From the human race perspective new knowledge must be created.

Humans create new knowledge in three ways: through Discovery – stumbling upon something and recognize that it solves a problem; through Experimentation – trying different approaches to a problem until the solution is found; and through Synthesis – combining existing knowledge to create new knowledge.
