The Short Path and Long Road of Curiosity

You can learn the whole world through a cup of coffee. 

Industrial integrity of a paper cup, the malleability of a plastic lid.

Polymers and isotopes mixed in.

Chemistry, boiling points, dissolving, and separating particles. 

Dairy products, measurements, and agriculture. 

Barter for beans, taxes on border crossings and global labor markets.

Dollars and cents of a hot beverage. 

Consumers and nonsense.

Storage, scaled operations and resource management. 

What fills your cup in the way you see the world? There is no problem too small to spark curiosity. The path may wind you into new worlds quickly.
