The ideas of science germinate in a matrix of established knowledge gained by experiment; they are not lonesome thoughts, born in a rarified realm where no researcher has ever gone before.

The difference is that for a soundly conceived and solidly endowed republic it takes a great deal longer for those seeds to germinate and the plants to grow.

Describe necessary conditions like warmth and moisture for seed germination; not all seeds have the same requirements.

Optimal Conditions

Emphasize the natural, biological process; germination leads to plant growth.

Biological Process

Indicate it's the beginning of growth, specifically the first stage where the plant emerges from the seed.

Initial Stage

Applies to the development of non-physical things like ideas, highlighting a gradual process.

Figurative Growth

Focus on the earliest phase of idea development, where it's still forming and not fully established.

Early Stages

Often used in creative or entrepreneurial contexts to express the beginning of a venture or project.

 so mangrove seedlings germinate attached to their mother plant. Once they've grown large enough to survive on their own, these partially developed plants begin to ride the current. Most take root nearby, while some travel for several months before landing in a different part of the world.

 And this is a distributed network. So all around the world people are doing the same thing. And that enables us to develop germination protocols. That means that we know the right combination of heat and cold and the cycles that you have to get to make the seed germinate.

 To start growing, it needs to emerge or sprout from inside this shell. This process is called germination. But just as it would be hard for you to get out of a jail cell with no windows and no doors, the embryo might need a little help escaping from its seed prison,

 Dung from monkeys, wild pigs, and other animals is riddled with seeds from the fruits they eat. When beetles bury their dung balls, they inadvertently protect these seeds from predators and increase the likelihood they’ll germinate.
