Knowledge Of Knowledge

` Knowledge from my point of view is cumalitive to some extent. As humans, we are always learning and discovering new ways to pursue improvements in life.Science and history are two branches of knowledge that effect our perception of the world around us. In science, we gain knowledge through every discovery we make and with every experiment we conduct, it may be a result of an accident or pure scientific work. Scientific knowledge has gradually accumulated over successive generations, with each new generation building on the advances of previous ones. In history, the past affects and changes the way we view the world around us. History is never discarded but adapted and learned from to better the future. However, we can say knowledge is not always discarded, but rather,becomes the basis of advanced knowledge. This is one of the ways that knowledge evolves.

Some indifferences or obstacles in history lead theories to be “discarded” by the scientific community. During the Renaissance, Galileo who was an astronomer, developed a theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun, and not vice versa as it was thought at the time. Galileo’s theory was not accepted by the Church and the general population. When Galileo was alive, the Pope was the ruling authority.

Today, his theory is accepted by the scientific community and people at large. His theory was discarded at first by prominent figures in history but later on with advancements in scien...

...n further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." by isaac newton, as a consequence of previous knowledge will build on brick by brick by combining our previous knowledge to make a solid wall of knowledge. In every knowledge or theory we might come up with either experiment or accident it will be most likely based on our previous knowledge and if it doesn’t then it might open a door for new knowledge for better “tomorrow”. Many of the ideas and theories are just discarded for good but some are discarded for a moment and then later accepted to be true such as today believing in galileo’s theory with more insight in this subject will come about in future and in past hitler's point of view in germany is not the same as it was at the moment, with time people realized their mistakes and through precise knowledge people were able to get a better view of the world.
