15+ Tiny Human Accidents That Had The Largest Impacts In History

Have you ever heard of the Domino Effect? It's Geek Universe, of course, you have! Those small, defining moments that lead to some of the biggest events in history…like taking one wrong turn, or having your candy bar melt in your pocket…Suddenly, you're changing the course of history for better and for worse.

I often think about discovery, and how many of the most iconic discoveries didn't necessarily have any pre-thought or intent behind them. Someone probably just tripped, swerved, or sat under an apple tree at the right exact moment and boom…Gravity was born! That's the thing about life, we never truly know what's next…neither did the cavemen who decided to rub two wooden sticks together, but I'm pretty sure they felt pretty accomplished after doing so.

So yes, I guess you could say life is just one big game of dominoes, we have winners and we have losers, those who contribute to the way of life, and those who take away from it…but at the end of the day, the craziest thing about it all is that, the discoveries were there all along, they were just waiting for someone to find them…and in other cases, should have been kept hidden!
Here are 15+ small human accidents that led to some of the biggest discoveries and events in history!
