"Equipped with his five senses,
man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science".
Edwin Powell Hubble, The Nature of Science, 1954
Science (from
Latin:
scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a
systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge
about nature 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. This article
focuses on science in the more restricted sense,
what is sometimes called
experimental science.
Applied science, or
engineering, is the practical application of
scientific knowledge.
