Discovery and Invention
Things in existence may be discovered by other species of living beings but not human beings. These things include physical objects, signs, phenomena, concept and even rules and laws of nature... Therefore discovery is not human monopoly except that perhaps only human beings know how to put down in record their achievements provided the process and outcome of discovery is regarded as achievemnets.
What about invention? How different is it from discovery, with reference to discussions above?
Are they co-dependent or independent? Or are they mutually exclusive?
Was Newton a discoverer or an inventor, or both?
Are mathematicians discoverers or inventors, or both?
