what is science?

Answer 1

Science in the broadest sense refers to any knowledge or trained skill, especially (but not exclusively) when this is attained by verifiable means. The word science also describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from such study. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on empiricism, experimentation, and methodological naturalism, as well as to the organized body of knowledge humans have gained by such research. This article focuses on science in the latter sense.

Scientists maintain that scientific investigation must adhere to the scientific method, a process for evaluating empirical knowledge which explains observable events in nature as a result of natural causes, rejecting supernatural notions.

Good luck.

Science is the 'how' and 'why' of things around us.It is 'the question' and even 'the answer' to it.In scientific terms we say science to be a systematic method of observation,identification of the problem,describing the problem in scientfic terms,experimenting in order to find an answer to the problem and then writing down the result in the form of a possible answer.But science is not just that.Science may be a discovery and it also may be an invention.science is a vast area ranging from astronomy to archeology.science is the very root of man's existence.Science gives the reason why man came into being,it is the reason for the changes that occured on the earth or in the universe along the years.what you eat is science,how you lived centuries ago (and why) is science.Science is the reason how we came to know how to write,how to talk and state opinions and it is the very reason why iam able to write this whole long passage on this screen.

Answer 4

Science is the human way of explaining the phenomena around us. Theories and hypotheses are proposed and tested out and to the best of our knowledge we try to discover the "why"s of the world. It does not conflict with faith, but just adds a deeper understanding to the way the world works around us. Keep in mind science hasn't created anything, but merely explains the phenomena that does occur or manipulates elements and things already here.
