The Conservative Side of the Natural Science

Natural scientist — like physicist and biologist — may think themselves as liberal. They seem, however, to have a strong conservative that impacts diversity in research and unity in thinking. I explored why this conservative in direction exists in the literature and the implications that it has on our — as human — choices for research and thinking about nature. My exploration revealed that the directional conservative expressed by ‘conserved from species X to human’ that indicate from lower to higher organism. In physics, as well, the directional conservative expressed by ‘make a Y or Z from modern physics theory analogous to the classical one’ that indicate we are still working to figure out the details of how classical physics emerge from the modern domain. It implications on our choices for research is make us feel confusion to answer questions like: ‘Can one have atoms in which the nucleus is a tiny primordial black hole formed in the early universe?’ in physics, nor ‘If human have free will, where in the evolutionary tree did it develop?’ in biology. The conservative also implicates on our thinking about nature that hard to imagine how free will can operate if our behavior — as ‘higher’ organism — is determined by physical law based on our understanding of the molecular basis of biology.
