Why not go out on our own?

Question

Why are we learning and reading about discoveries from anothers persons view instead of having to learn it hands on from our personal view? Ex: you read about how molecules react from a scientists point of view, and you never get the chance to see it yourself so you end up being forced to beleive him/her by applying it on an exam. So why can't we discover things ourselves, thus we can see things from our unique personal view and discover something better?

Answer 1

what are you stupid.

these dicoveres where great, they set the rules for what we know today,and anyway these discaoverys where after yaers of searching studieing and testing,also looking at the work of others,and you beterr beleive it

Answer 2

reasearch & hv proof. But there r various drawbacks too(i think u know about it) so if u want to & u hv some doubts u can do reasearch for it,but before that u hv to study alot:)

Answer 3

So what will be the prerogative of being a scientist if anyone can do his work.

If you want to do anything you can do it,if you have any personal discovery discuss it with your teacher who will probably help you ,discover what you want but any way you must finish your study.  

Answer 4

So who's stopping you? Go for it.

Answer 5

well when you are in school, theres not really much you can do about that because of the lack of special equipment and stuff. you just have to take their word for it for a few years.

thats the good thing about the classical mechanics branch of physics though, you can test many principles in a school lab.

Answer 6

Well if you wish you can become a scientist yourself and see it to beleive it! But yet again you can't be an astronom and a biologist at once! Ex: if you're a biologist you can discover things about plants yourself, but you'll learn about the stars from the astronoms! Simple!
