Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence to continuously improve and transform the unknown to the known.

According to the American Physics Society

Science extends and enriches our lives, expands our imagination and liberates us from the bonds of ignorance and superstition. The endorsing societies wish to affirm the precepts of modern science that are responsible for its success. Science is the systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge about the world and organizing and condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories.

The success and credibility of science is anchored in the willingness of scientists to:

  • Expose their ideas and results to independent testing and replication by other scientists. This requires the complete and open exchange of data, procedures and materials.

  • Abandon or modify accepted conclusions when confronted with more complete or reliable experimental evidence. Adherence to these principles provides a mechanism for self-correction that is the foundation of the credibility of science.

Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes.

Medicine

is the foundational science of studying human ailments and how to fix them requiring most complex aspects of social, biological and chemical knowledge.

Physics

bases of many sciences, from astronomy to chemistry to seismology, as well as applied sciences, like different engineering disciplines and medicine.
