Science (from Latin: scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge about nature and organizing and condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories. As knowledge has increased, some methods have proved more reliable than others, and today the scientific method is the standard for science. It includes the use of careful observation, experimentation, measurement, mathematics, and replication — to be considered a science, a body of knowledge must stand up to repeated testing by independent observers. The use of the scientific method to make new discoveries is called scientific research, and the people who carry out this research are called scientists. This article focuses on science in the more restricted sense, what is sometimes called experimental science. Applied science, or engineering, is the practical application of scientific knowledge. A scientific hypothesis is an educated guess about the nature of the universe, a scientific theory is a hypothesis which has been confirmed by repeated observation and measurement. Scientific theories are usually given mathematical form, and are always subject to refutation if future experiments contradict them. In the modern world, scientific research is a major activity in all developed nations, and scientists are expected to publish their discoveries in refereed journals, scientific periodicals where referees check the facts in an article before it is published. Even after publication, new scientific ideas are not generally accepted until the work has been replicated. Scientific literacy is the ability of the general population to understand the basic concepts related to science. From Wikipedia under the

Q. wHat happens to the elements in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated Asked by Brandon - Tue Sep 18 19:48:11 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The pellets of Carbon hold the Iron atoms together making the mixture (alloy) stronger (harder and more brittle). Answered by teachr - Tue Sep 18 21:54:23 2007 How can science falsify anything when it can't verify anything? Q. If I falsify something, haven't I simply verified its converse? Isn't this a sort of proof by contradiction that science cannot verify, or falsify anything? It seems to me that there is a strange asymmetry in logic that is assumed in science. Please don't confuse me with some Luddite and proclaim the virtues of science through technological achievement. If you do so, you are completely missing the point of my question. Asked by Mad Max - Sat Jul 18 14:36:02 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Verification is for math and logic, not science. To pull a common statement from logic, "All men are mortal." To falsify this, you would "just" have to find a man who is immortal. To verify this, you would have to kill off everyone in the world to prove that everyone can die. Not very feasible, especially as you would have to include yourself. Answered by oikos - Sat Jul 18 22:36:32 2009 What good has come from the advances in science?
Q. What good has come from the advances in science? Why is science so dangerous? Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications? Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances? What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science? What possible outcomes can come from science in the future? Asked by NataliaBABY - Tue Mar 3 20:32:31 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. > "What good has come from the advances in science?" You're typing this on a computer, aren't you? You haven't died of smallpox or diptheria have you? Have you ever had an operation? Did you require anaesthesia? Antibiotics? Are you wearing any clothes which contain synthetic fibres? Does your home contain any electrically-powered appliances? > "Why is science so dangerous?" Science is simply a method of rationally investigating the universe by empirical experiment and observation. It is no more or less dangerous than any other tool humanity uses. > "Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications?" Of course not. > "Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances?" Yes - but it… [cont.] Answered by gribbling - Wed Mar 4 08:56:05 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Science" [ A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z ]
