From the discovery of penicillin to the artificial sweetener in our drinks, accidental discoveries have had major impacts on our lives.
T. C. Hsu's accidental discovery that mitotic cells washed with hypotonic solution can be easily squashed to visualize the chromosomes is now an important scientific technique for cytological studies. Throughout history there have been many cases of scientists who have set out to investigate one thing but instead make incredible "accidental" discoveries of another. Two examples are the discovery of penicillin, the first antibiotic, and the discovery of saccharin, an artificial sweetener. Even though it might have been luck that had brought the scientists to see an observation, it was genius that made them realize that it was a discovery.

Which would be greater the contributions made by biology to physics or contributions made by physics to biology?
Physics to biology (in my opinion at least). Biology has more to do with macroscopic things whereas current physics (which is where a discovery would be made) deals with quantum physics and fundamental particles. A discovery in the field of quantum physics, for example the discovery of a new particle, might help explain something in biology whereas It is hard for me to envision something in biology breaking much new ground in physics.
