Past Knowledge
Knowledge that is irrelevant to the person
Therefore it is contextual - relating to past time
Becomes irrelevant when it is falsified (eg. sciences - from new evidences)
Becomes irrelevant when it has no value for a person (eg. different people have different specialization)
It is not irrelevant because it was needed in order to reach the "Truth"
Historians can find past knowledge as very valuable
Present knowledge can be past knowledge for others
Past knowledge can be present knowledge for others
Present Knowledge

History of Atoms
Sense Perception
Discovered
Discovery of new knowledge using senses (Present knowledge is not dependent on past knowledge)
Eg. First discovery of bones led to the creation of a branch of science called paleontology
Created
Observations leads to analysis - Thinking beyond (Past knowledge (experiments and results) leads to new knowledge (analysis))
Faith

Build up of new evidences (Present K depends on Past K)
Scientists have faith on the reliability of these evidences
Eg. Davson Danielli's Model vs Nicolson Singer's Model
