What is science? Why this course is called “The Way of Science” is becoming increasingly clear to me. I am learning that there is a particular process for obtaining scientific results called the scientific method. That science is the accumulation of data that has been tested and retested through observation and experiments and that science can explain phenomena in the physical and natural world. Let me start with the actual definition of science obtained from http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/scienceScience is an intellectual and practical activity that involves the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. I would like to show that there are differences between what a scientist does and the accumulated knowledge base known as Science. I would also like to show the differences between science and everything that is non-science or pseudoscience. What you and I call science is the activity of scientists working alone or together to draw conclusions from the natural world. The work of these scientists sometimes conflicts with each other and sometimes supports each other. Looking back, as far as possible, to the dawn of scientific thinking by humans, there have always been changes in how we see the world and who agrees on how a particular process works. There are, however, a number of stated and unstated scientific principles known as the scientific method. Here is a brief example of the scientific method used to explore a scientific query or hypothesis:1. Start by asking a question of the natural world2. Then search on that question3. Form an educated guess or hypothesis4. Test your hypothesis through…half of the paper…starting with the questions that arise. Now the process by which science derives from science is shrouded in mystery and can only be considered an empirical fact rather than a fully recognized and understood process fact. We must also understand that the work of scientists is science and not science. A job is initiated by a scientist, who then spreads their information into the scientific world, where it becomes a target for modification, verification, and falsification. Most scientific work rarely causes a ripple in the grand scheme of things, but in a few fortunate cases a scientist's work may stimulate further activity or even be adopted as a major addition, and may ultimately emerge with modifications. in science. The consequent point is that once a result has emerged and reached the stature of science, it is no longer the property of its creator.
