Science meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning, "science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. Science investigates questions at deeper and deeper levels. The process of science is a way of building knowledge about the universe — constructing new ideas that illuminate the world around us. Those ideas are inherently tentative, but as they cycle through the process of science again and again and are tested and retested in different ways, we become increasingly confident in them. Furthermore, through this same iterative process, ideas are modified, expanded, and combined into more powerful explanations. The knowledge that acquired from science is useful for all sorts of things: from designing bridges to slowing climate change, to prompting frequent hand washing during flu season.

 

 

Scientific knowledge allows us to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions — both individually and collectively. Because its products are so useful, humanity has completely transformed their manner of living. It is said that our life has changed more in the last one hundred years than it did thousands of years earlier, because of the scientific knowledge accumulated over the last three centuries, and also its application in the form of technology.

 

Science is, about knowledge of everything that happens in the universe: from the tiniest subatomic particles in a single atom of the metal in your computer's circuits, to the nuclear reactions that formed the immense ball of gas that is our sun, to the complex chemical interactions and electrical fluctuations within your own body that allow you to read and understand these words. Science relies on testing ideas with evidence gathered from the natural world. Science helps satisfy the natural curiosity which we humans were all born with. So allow science to help you understand the world and the universe.
