What is science?
science-It is method of obtaining knowledge through observation and experimentation. The study of something often thought of as the study of nature and it's laws; the laws… of the universe, the laws of gravity the study of living things (social,chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and biology) The word has its roots in the Latin verb 'to know'. It is a systematic approach to gaining knowledge, solving certain problems based on observable events, and advancing technology of various kinds. Its proper domain in practice is the physical world and not the disciplines of philosophy or theology, although there is a philosophy of science that informs society on several levels. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The important thing about science is the use of the scientific method for advancing knowledge in the sciences (see the related link below). Science is a systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge about the world and organizing and condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories. As knowledge has increased, some methods have proved more reliable than others, and today the scientific method is the standard for science. It includes the use of careful observation,experimentation, measurement, mathematics, and replication - to be considered a science, a body of knowledge must stand up to repeated testing by independent observers. The use of the scientific method to make new discoveries is called scientific research, and the people who carry out this research are called scientists. A scientific hypothesis is an educated guess about the nature of the universe, a scientific theory is a hypothesis which has been confirmed by repeated observation and measurement. Scientific theories are usually given mathematical form, and are always subject to refutation if future experiments contradict them. In the modern world, scientific research is a major activity in all developed nations, and scientists are expected to publish their discoveries in refereed journals, scientific periodicals where referees check the facts in an article before it is published. Even after publication, new scientific ideas are not generally accepted until the work has been replicated. Scientific literacy is the ability of the general population to understand the basic concepts related to science.
