Science

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. It encompasses a broad array of disciplines, including natural sciences (such as biology, chemistry, and physics), social sciences (such as sociology and psychology), formal sciences (like mathematics and logic), and applied sciences (which involve the practical application of scientific knowledge).

The scientific method is central to scientific inquiry; it involves observing phenomena, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing data to draw conclusions. Science aims to produce reliable and objective information about the natural world, often leading to new discoveries and advancements that can improve human life and increase our understanding of the cosmos. The term science derives from the Latin “scientia,” meaning “knowledge,” and reflects the process of acquiring knowledge through observation and experimentation.
