Science: What is it?
When one hears the word "science," numerous images likely come to mind, including a large textbook, white lab coats and microscopes, an astronomer looking through a telescope, a naturalist exploring a rainforest, Einstein's equations scrawled on a whiteboard, the space shuttle taking off, bubbling beakers, and more. Each of those pictures depicts a different facet of science
●Science is a method as well as a corpus of knowledge. Science may occasionally appear in the classroom to be a dry list of discrete, unchanging facts from a textbook, but that is just part of the tale. Furthermore, science is a process of discovery that enables us to connect disparate pieces of information to form full and cohesive understandings of the natural world.
● Science is fascinating. Finding out what exists in the cosmos and how things function now, historically, and probably going forward is possible through science. The excitement of discovering or witnessing something for the first time excites scientists.
●Science has its uses. Strong and trustworthy information is produced by science. It can be applied to the creation of new technologies, the treatment of illnesses, and a wide range of other issues.
●Science is still being done. Our understanding of the cosmos is always being improved and expanded by science, and when it does so, new research topics are raised. There is never a "finished" science.
●Science and civilization
Science has altered over time in tandem with societal changes. For instance, governments provided funding for scientists to do research with military applications during the first half of the 20th century, when the world was engulfed in conflict. As a result, science advanced in that direction and solved the mysteries of nuclear energy. Other times scientific advancements have resulted from market forces. For instance, modern businesses seeking to make money from pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and medical care have invested more and more in biotechnology research, leading to advances in genetic engineering and genomic sequencing. Conversely, contemporary foundations endowed with the wealth of private citizens may allocate their capital to projects they believe to be socially conscious, promoting studies on subjects such as Renewable energy technology
