SCIENCE

Science is a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically
arranged and showing the operation of general laws: for example, mathematical science. For
instance, it can refer to any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its
phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a
science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental
laws. Science can be divided into different branches based on the subject of study. The physical
sciences study the inorganic world and comprise the fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the
Earth sciences. The biological sciences such as biology and medicine study the organic world of life
and its processes. Social sciences like anthropology and economics study the social and cultural
aspects of human behaviour.
The field of ‘science’ is often grouped into:
1. Natural science- life or biological science (the study of living organisms) and physical science
(the study of the material universe including physics, chemistry, space science etc).
2. Social science- the study of society and people (such as anthropology, psychology)
3. Formal science- the study of logic and mathematics
4. Applied science- disciplines that rely on science and use existing scientific knowledge to
develop new applications, such as in engineering, robotics, agriculture and medicine.
Both natural science and social science are known as empirical sciences. This means that any
theories must be based on observable phenomena, reproducibility of results and peer review.
Indeed, even inside the 'assemblage of information' that science has gathered, nothing is ever
'demonstrated'. While we may have a ton of information to help the hypothesis that indeed, gravity
exists or that people developed more than a long period of time, we are continually refining and
reconsidering the information. In light of Einstein, gravity today isn't what it was really going after
or Laplace. Any new proof may uphold this hypothesis yet it doesn't demonstrate it. While we
acknowledge certain hypotheses as 'valid', we do this temporarily. 'Truth' today doesn't ensure we
won't tomorrow discover proof despite what is generally expected. Science is continually assembling
extra proof concerning known hypotheses … for good measure.
Science can assist us with getting ourselves and our reality, to perceive how it works and where we
fit inside it. There will consistently be inquiries to be replied. What occurs after we bite the dust?
What makes us dream? What is cognizance? It is this quest for answers, humankind's inborn interest
and drive to know 'why', that pushes logical disclosure forward. It's conceivable science may one day
discover the appropriate responses, yet on the off chance that not it will not be for absence of
endeavoring.
