Connection between personal knowledge and natural sciences

Of many other fields of study, I can't agree more that Natural science is the most difficult to have personal relationship with. It is almost impossible to create a personal connection between our personal knowledge and natural science In most cases, knowledge from natural sciences results from a very complicated and planned-ahead procedures. The main reason why we cannot relate our personal knowledge with knowledge of personal science is because due to the nature of personal knowledge. To define personal knowledge, it means any knowledge that is acquired from our experience thus without any given background knowledge; because in the case of natural science, it is so abstruse and broad that is impossible to comprehend without any background knowledge. However, I also think that there is a connection between personal knowledge and natural science, but only to a certain extent.

In everyday life, we go through so many things that we never keep track of every single things we do, but there are things that our brain does remember more than others. For many people, things resonate with them more when they have contact or to be scientific, 'tactile connection'. For example, when we touch a boiling water for the first time, we subconsciously link something boiling with hotness. Later on, this creates a robust foundation when learning thermal physics. Another example is when we bleed. Let's say you fell down from a staircase, and you start to bleed. Despite the pain, we learn that a scab replaces the blood, and that is when the pain starts to relieve. Again, this creates a foundation when we learn thoroughly about biology.


In conclusion, it is wrong to say there is no connection or contribution between personal knowledge and knowledge of natural science. Instead, we should be grateful of our personal experiences, as they lay as foundations and enable us to comprehend the complexity of natural sciences.
