^_^it enhances our knowledge and at the same time we could differentiate the branches of science

Answer 5

Discoveries in all sciences often have impact on other branches.  For example, the discovery of the structure of DNA was made by a chemist and a physicist!  Their discovery led to a better understanding of the how genes work, how to manipulate genes leading to new therapies to treat diseases, etc.

Discoveries of the transistor has led to the technology revolution we are now experiencing: cell phones that are really miniature computers, rapid tests for diseases, new treatments for diseases (cancer therapies), microsurgery techniques that allows reattachment of limbs, etc.

A biologist who doesn't understand physics, chemistry, mathematics will not accomplish much during his or her career!  Doctors have to understand how the chemical structure of a drug works in treating a patient and how it can harm a patient!  

A well prepared mind will see opportunities that others don't see!
