why do people consider science so hard?

Answer 1

Because it requires direct, objective thinking. You cannot get emotions mixed in with scientific research. It's hard for most people, because we have such an active imagination and it's easy to speculate and assume, which is unacceptable in the scientific field.

So basically, science relies on hard facts and evidence, and that's not the way most people think.

Answer 2

I think anything that we don't understand we may consider hard or difficult. My fourth grade teacher basically stood me in front of the class and told everyone what an idiot I was not to understand fractions. In eighth grade I was coteaching atomic theory to the science students, plus math...

The difference between 4th and 8th grade? I worked hard to understand what I couldn't do well before. As with anything you start when new, you need to dig in to see if you really like it. Find other people who think it's cool, or who do it as a profession. They'll tell you the pros. Others who consider it hard will tell you the cons. Once you have both sides, you are in the pilot seat to make the decision. Who knows, someday you may be doing something that was difficult and new at one time.

Answer 3

I think a lot of it has to do with the poor way we get introduced to science topics in elementary school. We are asked to memorize a bunch of terminology and definitions instead of actually addressing what science really is, which is a way of testing ideas we get from watching nature by inventing and doing experiments.

Anyone who looks at a bunch of technical language and notation from any field will think it's really hard because they won't be able to make sense of it on their own. For the people who know what all the jargon means it isn't hard, it's just shorthand.

Answer 4

Because it is really hard. It has a wide scope and it is impossible for you to finish studying it. What most people have learn is nothing but a tiny piece of the information. When you get deeper into it, you'll notice it is not as simple as it seems. Also, other subjects are nothing compared to science so they are thought to be hard.

Answer 5

Science requires thinking. According to Emerson "the hardest thing for a man to do is to think!".

Thinking is science. Thinking is hard. Consequently, few do it.

Answer 6

You can't argue your way into being right. You phrase your hypothesis in testable form, and nature tells you whether you guessed right. You can't change nature's mind so it works the way you want it to.

Some people just hate that.

Answer 7

because scenice is a concept that some find hard to understand,.
