learning.

we all know that learning sometimes get abit hard.

I dont know how to solve this. How? WA LAO...

It sometimes makes you frustrated.

Have you ever wondered what happens when humans keep making more and more discoveries to the point where by his successor would need an entire lifetime to understand his mentor's theories in order to understand that new discovery made by his mentor? I'm talking about when the amount of knowledge far exceeds the capability(speed and space) of the human brain to handle. What do we do when that happens? We split the knowledge up into relevant parts. For example, in Physics we have scientists specialising in different aspect of physics, like quantum physics, astro physics, thermodynamics and so much more.

Well, i dont see it poses any problems? Does it?

What happens if the knowledge itself is split into parts too small to be able to have any apparent use, and yet it requires a tremendous amount of time to research about it? Take a gun for example. Tom has invented a part that is able release a catch by pulling a trigger. But before that, how is he able to convince commercial companies to invest in his research? And how did the university know that this aspect of science/engineering would be useful and hence start a course on how to make a part that releases a catch by pulling a trigger(lets call it triggernometry lol) in the first place? The answer most likely is, they dont.

What im saying is, as knowledge is split to be learnt by different people, the small parts of knowledge loses its cohesiveness. No one is able to get the "general idea" of things before they die of age, or before their brains reach their limit.

So im saying that is there a limit to technological advancement? Where the limiting agent is the human brain itself. The brain is definitely not limitless as the neurons and all the brain cells are limited, unless our brains get larger through evolution OR we manage to increase our capacity and speed of our brains by connecting them with computers(which is quite plausible in the future).

Just something that i thought of last time..
