ubiquitin,
are you serious???
how would one understand how antibiotics work without knowing molecular biology?
how would one know anything in orthopedics without understanding torque, young’s modulus, and newton’s three laws…?
how would one know anything about an MRI without understanding how moving charged particles interact with a magnetic field?
how would one know anything about radioactive tracing without understanding half-lives and radioactivity?
how would one know anything about opthamology without an understanding of optics (physics)?
how drugs work without knowing basic organic chemistry?
neurology and nervous system without knowing general chemistry? (think polarization, depalarization)
respiration (aerobic and anaerobic) without knowing general chemistry?
The am haratzus of some frum people regarding general/secular knowledge is best embarrassing and at worst absolutely pitiful.
FFG, I find it insane that we even need to justify ourselves.
