meaning of science?

Answer 1

Science originally just meant knowledge, especially specialized knowledge. During 1700's it came to be used to to refer specifically to what was then known as natural philosophy, that is, the methodical study of natural phenomena.

Today, science generally refers to the acquisition of knowledge by the scientific method, or to the knowledge thus gained. Briefly, the scientific method consists of identifying a problem, gathering data, formulating a hypothesis, and testing the hypothesis against the data, gathering more data if needed. Successful hypotheses can be built into theories, which are comprehensive explanations of the workings of some part of nature.

Answer 2

This is a very reasonable question, but unfortunately it isn't easy to provide a simple, definitive answer because there is no entity with the authority to define science. Coming up with a proper definition of science is not unlike coming up with a proper definition of other human institutions, like religion or family: there is so much going on that long, complex books are written in an effort to explain it all
Most people assume that science increases the amount of knowledge we have about the universe. Generally speaking, that's true and it's why science is so important; sometimes, though, science can actually decrease 'knowledge' because it reveals that what we thought we knew to be true wasn't true at all but without providing solid facts as a replacement.
