Science

Science (from the Latin word scientia, meaning "knowledge")[1] is a systematic enterprise


that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about
the universe.[2][3][4]
The earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to
3000 BCE.[5][6] Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped
Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to provide
explanations of events in the physical world based on natural causes.[5][6] After the fall of the
Western Roman Empire, knowledge of Greek conceptions of the world deteriorated in Western
Europe during the early centuries (400 to 1000 CE) of the Middle Ages[7] but was preserved in
the Muslim world during the Islamic Golden Age.[8] The recovery and assimilation of Greek
works and Islamic inquiries into Western Europe from the 10th to 13th century revived "natural
philosophy",[7][9] which was later transformed by the Scientific Revolution that began in the 16th
century[10] as new ideas and discoveries departed from previous Greek conceptions and
traditions.[11][12][13][14] The scientific method soon played a greater role in knowledge creation and it
was not until the 19th century that many of the institutional and professional features of science
began to take shape;[15][16][17] along with the changing of "natural philosophy" to "natural science." [18]
