Hi guys.
My question is about science.
If scientists, or people that want to became scientists, have to choose and only one field of science, like physics, chemistry, biology, math, etc...there isn't the risk of limitate themselves?
I mean, you know, every science field is very wide, and time is never enough, but we know that all the good scientist are curious of the nature, so it is good for them to be a specialist in a single field?
In the past, smart people like Leonardo da Vinci ( who was also a great engineer and an artist) and Galileo, were involved in many fields, while today we then to focalize only on one field, this can't be a limitation?
I know that this is happening because today every field is very wide and every day new thing are discovered, but I still think that is not good to choose an only subject to study.
Maybe this is because in the past people didn't care about money or board, or about that they have to buy a house and have a family, so they just do that.
