Science
Science
Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses
and predictions about the universe.[1][2] Modern science is typically divided into two or three major
branches:[3] the natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world;
and the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which study individuals and
societies.[4][5] Applied sciences are disciplines that use scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such
as engineering and medicine.[6][7][8] While sometimes referred to as the formal sciences, the study of
logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science (which study formal systems governed by axioms
and rules)[9][10] are typically regarded as separate because they rely on deductive reasoning instead of the
scientific method or empirical evidence as their main methodology.[11][12][13][14]
The history of science spans the majority of the historical record, with the earliest identifiable
predecessors to modern science dating to the Bronze Age in Egypt and Mesopotamia
(c. 3000–1200 BCE). Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped
the Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to provide
explanations of events in the physical world based on natural causes, while further advancements,
including the introduction of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, were made during the Golden Age of
India.[15]: 12 [16][17][18] Scientific research deteriorated in these regions after the fall of the Western Roman
Empire during the Early Middle Ages (400–1000 CE), but in the Medieval renaissances (Carolingian
Renaissance, Ottonian Renaissance and the Renaissance of the 12th century) scholarship flourished again.
Some Greek manuscripts lost in Western Europe were preserved and expanded upon in the Middle East
during the Islamic Golden Age,[19] Later, Byzantine Greek scholars contributed to their transmission by
bringing Greek manuscripts from the declining Byzantine Empire to Western Europe at the beginning of
the Renaissance.
The recovery and assimilation of Greek works and Islamic inquiries into Western Europe from the 10th to
13th centuries revived natural philosophy,[20][21][22] which was later transformed by the Scientific
Revolution that began in the 16th century[23] as new ideas and discoveries departed from previous Greek
conceptions and traditions.[24][25] The scientific method soon played a greater role in knowledge creation
and in the 19th century many of the institutional and professional features of science began to take
shape,[26][27] along with the changing of "natural philosophy" to "natural science".[28]
New knowledge in science is advanced by research from scientists who are motivated by curiosity about
the world and a desire to solve problems.[29][30] Contemporary scientific research is highly collaborative
and is usually done by teams in academic and research institutions,[31] government agencies,[19] and
companies.[32] The practical impact of their work has led to the emergence of science policies that seek to
influence the scientific enterprise by prioritising the ethical and moral development of commercial
products, armaments, health care, public infrastructure, and environmental protection.
Etymology
The word science has been used in Middle English since the 14th century in the sense of "the state of
knowing". The word was borrowed from the Anglo-Norman language as the suffix -cience, which was
borrowed from the Latin word scientia, meaning "knowledge, awareness, understanding", a noun
derivative of sciens meaning "knowing", itself the present active participle of sciō, "to know".[33]
There are many hypotheses for science's ultimate word origin. According to Michiel de Vaan, Dutch
linguist and Indo-Europeanist, sciō may have its origin in the Proto-Italic language as *skije- or *skijo-
meaning "to know", which may originate from Proto-Indo-European language as *skh1-ie, *skh1-io,
meaning "to incise". The Lexikon der indogermanischen Verben proposed sciō is a back-formation of
nescīre, meaning "to not know, be unfamiliar with", which may derive from Proto-Indo-European *sekH-
in Latin secāre, or *skh2-, from *sḱʰeh2(i)- meaning "to cut".[34]
In the past, science was a synonym for "knowledge" or "study", in keeping with its Latin origin. A person
who conducted scientific research was called a "natural philosopher" or "man of science".[35] In 1834,
William Whewell introduced the term scientist in a review of Mary Somerville's book On the Connexion
of the Physical Sciences,[36] crediting it to "some ingenious gentleman" (possibly himself).[37]
History
Early history
Science has no single origin. Rather, scientific thinking
emerged gradually over the course of tens of thousands of
years,[38][39] taking different forms around the world, and few
details are known about the very earliest developments.
Women likely played a central role in prehistoric science,[40]
as did religious rituals.[41] Some scholars use the term
"protoscience" to label activities in the past that resemble
modern science in some but not all features;[42][43][44]
however, this label has also been criticised as denigrating,[45]

Classical antiquity
In classical antiquity, there is no real ancient analogue of a
modern scientist. Instead, well-educated, usually upper-class,
and almost universally male individuals performed various
investigations into nature whenever they could afford the
time.[54] Before the invention or discovery of the concept of
phusis or nature by the pre-Socratic philosophers, the same
words tend to be used to describe the natural "way" in which
a plant grows,[55] and the "way" in which, for example, one
tribe worships a particular god. For this reason, it is claimed
that these men were the first philosophers in the strict sense
and the first to clearly distinguish "nature" and
"convention".[56]
Plato's Academy mosaic, made between

100 BCE and 79 CE, shows many Greek

successors Anaximander and Anaximenes, were the first to

significantly to the development of mathematical science.[58]: 465 The theory of atoms was developed by
the Greek philosopher Leucippus and his student Democritus.[59][60] Later, Epicurus would develop a full
natural cosmology based on atomism, and would adopt a "canon" (ruler, standard) which established
physical criteria or standards of scientific truth.[61] The Greek doctor Hippocrates established the tradition
of systematic medical science[62][63] and is known as "The Father of Medicine".[64]
A turning point in the history of early philosophical science was Socrates' example of applying
philosophy to the study of human matters, including human nature, the nature of political communities,
and human knowledge itself. The Socratic method as documented by Plato's dialogues is a dialectic
method of hypothesis elimination: better hypotheses are found by steadily identifying and eliminating
those that lead to contradictions. The Socratic method searches for general commonly-held truths that
shape beliefs and scrutinises them for consistency.[65] Socrates criticised the older type of study of
physics as too purely speculative and lacking in self-criticism.[66]
In the 4th century BCE, Aristotle created a systematic programme of teleological philosophy.[67] In the
3rd century BCE, Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos was the first to propose a heliocentric model of
the universe, with the Sun at the centre and all the planets orbiting it.[68] Aristarchus's model was widely
rejected because it was believed to violate the laws of physics,[68] while Ptolemy's Almagest, which
contains a geocentric description of the Solar System, was accepted through the early Renaissance
instead.[69][70] The inventor and mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse made major contributions to the
beginnings of calculus.[71] Pliny the Elder was a Roman writer and polymath, who wrote the seminal
encyclopaedia Natural History.[72][73][74]
Positional notation for representing numbers likely emerged between the 3rd and 5th centuries CE along
Indian trade routes. This numeral system made efficient arithmetic operations more accessible and would
eventually become standard for mathematics worldwide.[75]
Middle Ages
Due to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the 5th
century saw an intellectual decline, with knowledge of
classical Greek conceptions of the world deteriorating in
Western Europe.[15]: 194 Latin encyclopaedists of the period
such as Isidore of Seville preserved the majority of general
ancient knowledge.[76] In contrast, because the Byzantine
Empire resisted attacks from invaders, they were able to
preserve and improve prior learning.[15]: 159 John Philoponus,
a Byzantine scholar in the 6th century, started to question
Aristotle's teaching of physics, introducing the theory of
impetus.[15]: 307, 311, 363, 402 His criticism served as an
inspiration to medieval scholars and Galileo Galilei, who
extensively cited his works ten centuries later.[15]: 307–308 [77]
Islamic study of Aristotelianism flourished in the House of Wisdom established in the Abbasid capital of
Baghdad, Iraq[81] and the flourished[82] until the Mongol invasions in the 13th century. Ibn al-Haytham,
better known as Alhazen, used controlled experiments in his optical study.[a][84][85] Avicenna's
compilation of The Canon of Medicine, a medical encyclopaedia, is considered to be one of the most
important publications in medicine and was used until the 18th century.[86]
By the 11th century most of Europe had become Christian,[15]: 204 and in 1088, the University of Bologna
emerged as the first university in Europe.[87] As such, demand for Latin translation of ancient and
scientific texts grew,[15]: 204 a major contributor to the Renaissance of the 12th century. Renaissance
scholasticism in western Europe flourished, with experiments done by observing, describing, and
classifying subjects in nature.[88] In the 13th century, medical teachers and students at Bologna began
opening human bodies, leading to the first anatomy textbook based on human dissection by Mondino de
Luzzi.[89]
Renaissance
New developments in optics played a role in the inception of
the Renaissance, both by challenging long-held metaphysical
ideas on perception, as well as by contributing to the
improvement and development of technology such as the
camera obscura and the telescope. At the start of the
Renaissance, Roger Bacon, Vitello, and John Peckham each
built up a scholastic ontology upon a causal chain beginning
with sensation, perception, and finally apperception of the
individual and universal forms of Aristotle.[83]: Book I A model
of vision later known as perspectivism was exploited and
studied by the artists of the Renaissance. This theory uses
only three of Aristotle's four causes: formal, material, and
final.[90]
Johannes Kepler and others challenged the notion that the only function of the eye is perception, and
shifted the main focus in optics from the eye to the propagation of light.[90][92] Kepler is best known,
however, for improving Copernicus' heliocentric model through the discovery of Kepler's laws of
planetary motion. Kepler did not reject Aristotelian metaphysics and described his work as a search for
the Harmony of the Spheres.[93] Galileo had made significant contributions to astronomy, physics and
engineering. However, he became persecuted after Pope Urban VIII sentenced him for writing about the
heliocentric model.[94]
The printing press was widely used to publish scholarly arguments, including some that disagreed widely
with contemporary ideas of nature.[95] Francis Bacon and René Descartes published philosophical
arguments in favour of a new type of non-Aristotelian science. Bacon emphasised the importance of
experiment over contemplation, questioned the Aristotelian concepts of formal and final cause, promoted
the idea that science should study the laws of nature and the improvement of all human life.[96] Descartes
emphasised individual thought and argued that mathematics rather than geometry should be used to study
nature.[97]
Age of Enlightenment
At the start of the Age of Enlightenment, Isaac Newton formed the
foundation of classical mechanics by his Philosophiæ Naturalis
Principia Mathematica, greatly influencing future physicists.[98]
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz incorporated terms from Aristotelian
physics, now used in a new non-teleological way. This implied a shift
in the view of objects: objects were now considered as having no
innate goals. Leibniz assumed that different types of things all work
according to the same general laws of nature, with no special formal or
final causes.[99]
During this time the declared purpose and value of science became
producing wealth and inventions that would improve human lives, in
the materialistic sense of having more food, clothing, and other things.
In Bacon's words, "the real and legitimate goal of sciences is the Title page of the 1687 first
endowment of human life with new inventions and riches", and he edition of Philosophiæ
Naturalis Principia
discouraged scientists from pursuing intangible philosophical or
Mathematica by Isaac Newton
spiritual ideas, which he believed contributed little to human happiness
beyond "the fume of subtle, sublime or pleasing [speculation]".[100]
Science during the Enlightenment was dominated by scientific societies and academies,[101] which had
largely replaced universities as centres of scientific research and development. Societies and academies
were the backbones of the maturation of the scientific profession. Another important development was
the popularisation of science among an increasingly literate population.[102] Enlightenment philosophers
turned to a few of their scientific predecessors – Galileo, Kepler, Boyle, and Newton principally – as the
guides to every physical and social field of the day.[103][104]
The 18th century saw significant advancements in the practice of medicine[105] and physics;[106] the
development of biological taxonomy by Carl Linnaeus;[107] a new understanding of magnetism and
electricity;[108] and the maturation of chemistry as a discipline.[109] Ideas on human nature, society, and
economics evolved during the Enlightenment. Hume and other Scottish Enlightenment thinkers
developed A Treatise of Human Nature, which was expressed historically in works by authors including
James Burnett, Adam Ferguson, John Millar and William Robertson, all of whom merged a scientific
study of how humans behaved in ancient and primitive cultures with a strong awareness of the
determining forces of modernity.[110] Modern sociology largely originated from this movement.[111] In
1776, Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, which is often considered the first work on modern
economics.[112]
19th century
During the 19th century, many distinguishing characteristics of contemporary modern science began to
take shape. These included the transformation of the life and physical sciences; the frequent use of
precision instruments; the emergence of terms such as "biologist", "physicist", and "scientist"; an
increased professionalisation of those studying nature; scientists gaining cultural authority over many
dimensions of society; the industrialisation of numerous countries; the thriving of popular science
writings; and the emergence of science journals.[113] During the late
19th century, psychology emerged as a separate discipline from
philosophy when Wilhelm Wundt founded the first laboratory for
psychological research in 1879.[114]
Early in the 19th century John Dalton suggested the modern atomic
theory, based on Democritus's original idea of indivisible particles

universe where there could be little loss of resources. However, with
the advent of the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution there was
an increased understanding that not all forms of energy have the same energy qualities, the ease of
conversion to useful work or to another form of energy.[119] This realisation led to the development of the
laws of thermodynamics, in which the free energy of the universe is seen as constantly declining: the
entropy of a closed universe increases over time.[b]
The electromagnetic theory was established in the 19th century by the works of Hans Christian Ørsted,
André-Marie Ampère, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Oliver Heaviside, and Heinrich Hertz.
The new theory raised questions that could not easily be answered using Newton's framework. The
discovery of X-rays inspired the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie in
1896,[122] Marie Curie then became the first person to win two Nobel Prizes.[123] In the next year came
the discovery of the first subatomic particle, the electron.[124]
20th century
In the first half of the century the development of antibiotics and artificial fertilisers improved human
living standards globally.[125][126] Harmful environmental issues such as ozone depletion, ocean
acidification, eutrophication, and climate change came to the public's attention and caused the onset of
environmental studies.[127]
During this period scientific experimentation became increasingly larger in scale and funding.[128] The
extensive technological innovation stimulated by World War I, World War II, and the Cold War led to
competitions between global powers, such as the Space Race and nuclear arms race.[129][130] Substantial
international collaborations were also made, despite armed conflicts.[131]
In the late 20th century active recruitment of women and elimination of sex discrimination greatly
increased the number of women scientists, but large gender disparities remained in some fields.[132] The
discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1964[133] led to a rejection of the steady-state model
of the universe in favour of the Big Bang theory of Georges Lemaître.[134]
The century saw fundamental changes within science
disciplines. Evolution became a unified theory in the early
20th-century when the modern synthesis reconciled
Darwinian evolution with classical genetics.[135] Albert
Einstein's theory of relativity and the development of
quantum mechanics complement classical mechanics to
describe physics in extreme length, time and gravity.[136][137]
Widespread use of integrated circuits in the last quarter of the
20th century combined with communications satellites led to
a revolution in information technology and the rise of the
global internet and mobile computing, including smartphones. A computer graph of the ozone hole

Branches
Modern science is commonly divided into three major branches: natural science, social science, and
formal science.[3] Each of these branches comprises various specialised yet overlapping scientific
disciplines that often possess their own nomenclature and expertise.[145] Both natural and social sciences
are empirical sciences,[146] as their knowledge is based on empirical observations and is capable of being
tested for its validity by other researchers working under the same conditions.[147]
Natural science
Natural science is the study of the physical world. It can be divided into two main branches: life science
and physical science. These two branches may be further divided into more specialised disciplines. For
example, physical science can be subdivided into physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth science.
Modern natural science is the successor to the natural philosophy that began in Ancient Greece. Galileo,
Descartes, Bacon, and Newton debated the benefits of using approaches that were more mathematical and
more experimental in a methodical way. Still, philosophical perspectives, conjectures, and
presuppositions, often overlooked, remain necessary in natural science.[148] Systematic data collection,
including discovery science, succeeded natural history, which emerged in the 16th century by describing
and classifying plants, animals, minerals, and other biotic beings.[149] Today, "natural history" suggests
observational descriptions aimed at popular audiences.[150]
Social science
Social science is the study of human behaviour and the
functioning of societies.[4][5] It has many disciplines that
include, but are not limited to anthropology, economics,
history, human geography, political science, psychology, and
sociology.[4] In the social sciences, there are many competing
theoretical perspectives, many of which are extended through
competing research programmes such as the functionalists,
conflict theorists, and interactionists in sociology.[4] Due to
the limitations of conducting controlled experiments
involving large groups of individuals or complex situations,
social scientists may adopt other research methods such as the
historical method, case studies, and cross-cultural studies.
Moreover, if quantitative information is available, social Supply and demand curve in economics,
scientists may rely on statistical approaches to better crossing over at the optimal equilibrium
understand social relationships and processes.[4]
Formal science
Formal science is an area of study that generates knowledge using formal systems.[151][9][10] A formal
system is an abstract structure used for inferring theorems from axioms according to a set of rules.[152] It
includes mathematics,[153][154] systems theory, and theoretical computer science. The formal sciences
share similarities with the other two branches by relying on objective, careful, and systematic study of an
area of knowledge. They are, however, different from the empirical sciences as they rely exclusively on
deductive reasoning, without the need for empirical evidence, to verify their abstract
concepts.[13][155][147] The formal sciences are therefore a priori disciplines and because of this, there is
disagreement on whether they constitute a science.[11][156] Nevertheless, the formal sciences play an
important role in the empirical sciences. Calculus, for example, was initially invented to understand
motion in physics.[157] Natural and social sciences that rely heavily on mathematical applications include
mathematical physics,[158] chemistry,[159] biology,[160] finance,[161] and economics.[162]
Applied science
Applied science is the use of the scientific method and knowledge to attain practical goals and includes a
broad range of disciplines such as engineering and medicine.[163][8] Engineering is the use of scientific
principles to invent, design and build machines, structures and technologies.[164] Science may contribute
to the development of new technologies.[165] Medicine is the practice of caring for patients by
maintaining and restoring health through the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injury or
disease.[166][167]
Basic sciences
The applied sciences are often contrasted with the basic sciences, which are focused on advancing
scientific theories and laws that explain and predict events in the natural world.[168][169]
Computational science
Computational science applies computer simulations to science, enabling a better understanding of
scientific problems than formal mathematics alone can achieve. The use of machine learning and artificial
intelligence is becoming a central feature of computational contributions to science, for example in agent-
based computational economics, random forests, topic modeling and various forms of prediction.
However, machines alone rarely advance knowledge as they require human guidance and capacity to
reason; and they can introduce bias against certain social groups or sometimes underperform against
humans.[172][173]
Interdisciplinary science
Interdisciplinary science involves the combination of two or more disciplines into one,[174] such as
bioinformatics, a combination of biology and computer science[175] or cognitive sciences. The concept
has existed since the ancient Greek period and it became popular again in the 20th century.[176]
Scientific research
Scientific research can be labelled as either basic or applied research. Basic research is the search for
knowledge and applied research is the search for solutions to practical problems using this knowledge.
Most understanding comes from basic research, though sometimes applied research targets specific
practical problems. This leads to technological advances that were not previously imaginable.[177]
Scientific method
Scientific research involves using the scientific method, which seeks to objectively explain the events of
nature in a reproducible way.[178] Scientists usually take for granted a set of basic assumptions that are
needed to justify the scientific method: there is an objective reality shared by all rational observers; this
objective reality is governed by natural laws; these laws were discovered by means of systematic
observation and experimentation.[2] Mathematics is essential in the formation of hypotheses, theories, and
laws, because it is used extensively in quantitative modelling,
observing, and collecting measurements.[179] Statistics is used
to summarise and analyse data, which allows scientists to
assess the reliability of experimental results.[180]
When a hypothesis proves unsatisfactory it is modified or discarded. If the hypothesis survives testing, it
may become adopted into the framework of a scientific theory, a validly reasoned, self-consistent model
or framework for describing the behaviour of certain natural events. A theory typically describes the
behaviour of much broader sets of observations than a hypothesis; commonly, a large number of
hypotheses can be logically bound together by a single theory. Thus, a theory is a hypothesis explaining
various other hypotheses. In that vein, theories are formulated according to most of the same scientific
principles as hypotheses. Scientists may generate a model, an attempt to describe or depict an observation
in terms of a logical, physical or mathematical representation, and to generate new hypotheses that can be
tested by experimentation.[184]
While performing experiments to test hypotheses, scientists may have a preference for one outcome over
another.[185][186] Eliminating the bias can be achieved through transparency, careful experimental design,
and a thorough peer review process of the experimental results and conclusions.[187][188] After the results
of an experiment are announced or published, it is normal practice for independent researchers to double-
check how the research was performed, and to follow up by performing similar experiments to determine
how dependable the results might be.[189] Taken in its entirety, the scientific method allows for highly
creative problem solving while minimising the effects of subjective and confirmation bias.[190]
Intersubjective verifiability, the ability to reach a consensus and reproduce results, is fundamental to the
creation of all scientific knowledge.[191]
Scientific literature
Scientific research is published in a range of literature.[192] Scientific journals communicate and
document the results of research carried out in universities and various other research institutions, serving
as an archival record of science. The first scientific journals, Journal des sçavans followed by
Philosophical Transactions, began publication in 1665. Since that time the total number of active
periodicals has steadily increased. In 1981, one estimate for the number of scientific and technical
journals in publication was 11,500.[193]
Most scientific journals cover a single scientific field and
publish the research within that field; the research is normally
expressed in the form of a scientific paper. Science has
become so pervasive in modern societies that it is considered
necessary to communicate the achievements, news, and
ambitions of scientists to a wider population.[194]
Challenges
The replication crisis is an ongoing methodological crisis that
affects parts of the social and life sciences. In subsequent
investigations, the results of many scientific studies have been
proven to be unrepeatable.[195] The crisis has long-standing
roots; the phrase was coined in the early 2010s[196] as part of
a growing awareness of the problem. The replication crisis
represents an important body of research in metascience,
which aims to improve the quality of all scientific research
while reducing waste.[197]
Cover of the first issue of Nature, 4
An area of study or speculation that masquerades as science November 1869
in an attempt to claim legitimacy that it would not otherwise
be able to achieve is sometimes referred to as pseudoscience,
fringe science, or junk science.[198][199] Physicist Richard Feynman coined the term "cargo cult science"
for cases in which researchers believe, and at a glance, look like they are doing science but lack the
honesty to allow their results to be rigorously evaluated.[200] Various types of commercial advertising,
ranging from hype to fraud, may fall into these categories. Science has been described as "the most
important tool" for separating valid claims from invalid ones.[201]
There can also be an element of political bias or ideological bias on all sides of scientific debates.
Sometimes, research may be characterised as "bad science", research that may be well-intended but is
incorrect, obsolete, incomplete, or over-simplified expositions of scientific ideas. The term scientific
misconduct refers to situations such as where researchers have intentionally misrepresented their
published data or have purposely given credit for a discovery to the wrong person.[202]
Philosophy of science
There are different schools of thought in the philosophy of science. The most popular position is
empiricism, which holds that knowledge is created by a process involving observation; scientific theories
generalise observations.[203] Empiricism generally encompasses inductivism, a position that explains how
general theories can be made from the finite amount of empirical evidence available. Many versions of
empiricism exist, with the predominant ones being Bayesianism and the hypothetico-deductive
method.[204][203]
Empiricism has stood in contrast to rationalism, the position originally associated with Descartes, which
holds that knowledge is created by the human intellect, not by observation.[205] Critical rationalism is a
contrasting 20th-century approach to science, first defined by Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper.
Popper rejected the way that empiricism describes the
connection between theory and observation. He claimed that
theories are not generated by observation, but that observation
is made in the light of theories, and that the only way theory
A can be affected by observation is after theory A were to
conflict with observation, but theory B were to survive the
observation.[206] Popper proposed replacing verifiability with
falsifiability as the landmark of scientific theories, replacing
induction with falsification as the empirical method.[206]
Popper further claimed that there is actually only one
universal method, not specific to science: the negative method
of criticism, trial and error,[207] covering all products of the For Kuhn, the addition of epicycles in
human mind, including science, mathematics, philosophy, and Ptolemaic astronomy was "normal
art.[208] science" within a paradigm, whereas the
Copernican Revolution was a paradigm
Another approach, instrumentalism, emphasises the utility of shift
theories as instruments for explaining and predicting
phenomena. It views scientific theories as black boxes, with
only their input (initial conditions) and output (predictions) being relevant. Consequences, theoretical
entities, and logical structure are claimed to be things that should be ignored.[209] Close to
instrumentalism is constructive empiricism, according to which the main criterion for the success of a
scientific theory is whether what it says about observable entities is true.[210]
Thomas Kuhn argued that the process of observation and evaluation takes place within a paradigm, a
logically consistent "portrait" of the world that is consistent with observations made from its framing. He
characterised normal science as the process of observation and "puzzle solving", which takes place within
a paradigm, whereas revolutionary science occurs when one paradigm overtakes another in a paradigm
shift.[211] Each paradigm has its own distinct questions, aims, and interpretations. The choice between
paradigms involves setting two or more "portraits" against the world and deciding which likeness is most
promising. A paradigm shift occurs when a significant number of observational anomalies arise in the old
paradigm and a new paradigm makes sense of them. That is, the choice of a new paradigm is based on
observations, even though those observations are made against the background of the old paradigm. For
Kuhn, acceptance or rejection of a paradigm is a social process as much as a logical process. Kuhn's
position, however, is not one of relativism.[212]
Another approach often cited in debates of scientific scepticism against controversial movements like
"creation science" is methodological naturalism. Naturalists maintain that a difference should be made
between natural and supernatural, and science should be restricted to natural explanations.[213]
Methodological naturalism maintains that science requires strict adherence to empirical study and
independent verification.[214]
Scientific community
The scientific community is a network of interacting scientists who conduct scientific research. The
community consists of smaller groups working in scientific fields. By having peer review, through
discussion and debate within journals and conferences, scientists maintain the quality of research
methodology and objectivity when interpreting results.[215]
Scientists
Scientists are individuals who conduct scientific research to advance
knowledge in an area of interest.[216][217] Scientists may exhibit a
strong curiosity about reality and a desire to apply scientific
knowledge for the benefit of public health, nations, the environment,
or industries; other motivations include recognition by peers and
prestige. In modern times, many scientists study within specific areas
of science in academic institutions, often obtaining advanced degrees
in the process.[218] Many scientists pursue careers in various fields
such as academia, industry, government, and nonprofit
organisations.[219][220][221]
Learned societies
Learned societies for the communication and promotion of
scientific thought and experimentation have existed since the
Renaissance.[224] Many scientists belong to a learned society
that promotes their respective scientific discipline, profession,
or group of related disciplines.[225] Membership may either
be open to all, require possession of scientific credentials, or
conferred by election.[226] Most scientific societies are
nonprofit organisations,[227] and many are professional
Picture of scientists in 200th anniversary associations. Their activities typically include holding regular
of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, conferences for the presentation and discussion of new
1900
research results and publishing or sponsoring academic
journals in their discipline. Some societies act as professional
bodies, regulating the activities of their members in the public interest, or the collective interest of the
membership.
The professionalisation of science, begun in the 19th century, was partly enabled by the creation of
national distinguished academies of sciences such as the Italian Accademia dei Lincei in 1603,[228] the
British Royal Society in 1660,[229] the French Academy of Sciences in 1666,[230] the American National
Academy of Sciences in 1863,[231] the German Kaiser Wilhelm Society in 1911,[232] and the Chinese
Academy of Sciences in 1949.[233] International scientific organisations, such as the International Science
Council, are devoted to international cooperation for science advancement.[234]
Awards
Science awards are usually given to individuals or organisations that have made significant contributions
to a discipline. They are often given by prestigious institutions; thus, it is considered a great honour for a
scientist receiving them. Since the early Renaissance, scientists have often been awarded medals, money,
and titles. The Nobel Prize, a widely regarded prestigious award, is awarded annually to those who have
achieved scientific advances in the fields of medicine, physics, and chemistry.[235]
Society
Many governments have dedicated agencies to support scientific research, such as the National Science
Foundation in the United States,[238] the National Scientific and Technical Research Council in
Argentina,[239] Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Australia,[240] National
Centre for Scientific Research in France,[241] the Max Planck Society in Germany,[242] and National
Research Council in Spain.[243] In commercial research and development, all but the most research-
orientated corporations focus more heavily on near-term commercialisation possibilities than research
driven by curiosity.[244]
Science policy is concerned with policies that affect the conduct of the scientific enterprise, including
research funding, often in pursuance of other national policy goals such as technological innovation to
promote commercial product development, weapons development, health care, and environmental
monitoring. Science policy sometimes refers to the act of applying scientific knowledge and consensus to
the development of public policies. In accordance with public policy being concerned about the well-
being of its citizens, science policy's goal is to consider how science and technology can best serve the
public.[245] Public policy can directly affect the funding of capital equipment and intellectual
infrastructure for industrial research by providing tax incentives to those organisations that fund
research.[194]
Education and awareness
Science education for the general public is embedded in
the school curriculum, and is supplemented by online
pedagogical content (for example, YouTube and Khan
Academy), museums, and science magazines and blogs.
Major organisations of scientists such as the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
consider the sciences to be a part of the liberal arts
traditions of learning, along with philosophy and
history.[246] Scientific literacy is chiefly concerned with
an understanding of the scientific method, units and
methods of measurement, empiricism, a basic Dinosaur exhibit in the Houston Museum of
understanding of statistics (correlations, qualitative Natural Science
versus quantitative observations, aggregate statistics),
and a basic understanding of core scientific fields such as
physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, geology, and computation. As a student advances into higher stages
of formal education, the curriculum becomes more in depth. Traditional subjects usually included in the
curriculum are natural and formal sciences, although recent movements include social and applied
science as well.[247]
The mass media face pressures that can prevent them from accurately depicting competing scientific
claims in terms of their credibility within the scientific community as a whole. Determining how much
weight to give different sides in a scientific debate may require considerable expertise regarding the
matter.[248] Few journalists have real scientific knowledge, and even beat reporters who are
knowledgeable about certain scientific issues may be ignorant about other scientific issues that they are
suddenly asked to cover.[249][250]
Science magazines such as New Scientist, Science & Vie, and Scientific American cater to the needs of a
much wider readership and provide a non-technical summary of popular areas of research, including
notable discoveries and advances in certain fields of research.[251] The science fiction genre, primarily
speculative fiction, can transmit the ideas and methods of science to the general public.[252] Recent
efforts to intensify or develop links between science and non-scientific disciplines, such as literature or
poetry, include the Creative Writing Science resource developed through the Royal Literary Fund.[253]
Anti-science attitudes
While the scientific method is broadly accepted in the scientific community, some fractions of society
reject certain scientific positions or are sceptical about science. Examples are the common notion that
COVID-19 is not a major health threat to the US (held by 39% of Americans in August 2021)[254] or the
belief that climate change is not a major threat to the US (also held by 40% of Americans, in late 2019
and early 2020).[255] Psychologists have pointed to four factors driving rejection of scientific results:[256]
Politics
Attitudes towards science are often determined by
political opinions and goals. Government, business
and advocacy groups have been known to use legal
and economic pressure to influence scientific
researchers. Many factors can act as facets of the
politicisation of science such as anti-intellectualism,
perceived threats to religious beliefs, and fear for
business interests.[261] Politicisation of science is
usually accomplished when scientific information is Public opinion on global warming in the United
presented in a way that emphasises the uncertainty States by political party[260]
associated with the scientific evidence. [262] Tactics
such as shifting conversation, failing to acknowledge
facts, and capitalising on doubt of scientific consensus have been used to gain more attention for views
that have been undermined by scientific evidence.[263] Examples of issues that have involved the
politicisation of science include the global warming controversy, health effects of pesticides, and health
effects of tobacco.[263][264]

a. Ibn al-Haytham's Book of Optics Book I, [6.54]. pages 372 and 408 disputed Claudius
Ptolemy's extramission theory of vision; "Hence, the extramission of [visual] rays is
superfluous and useless". —A.Mark Smith's translation of the Latin version of Ibn al-
Haytham.[83]: Book I, [6.54]. pp. 372, 408
b. Whether the universe is closed or open, or the shape of the universe, is an open question.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics,[119]: 9 [120] and the 3rd law of thermodynamics[121] imply the
heat death of the universe if the universe is a closed system, but not necessarily for an
expanding universe.

scientific endeavors was matched by a new nomenclature for their endeavors. The most
conspicuous marker of this change was the replacement of "natural philosophy" by "natural
science". In 1800 few had spoken of the "natural sciences" but by 1880 this expression had
overtaken the traditional label "natural philosophy". The persistence of "natural philosophy"
in the twentieth century is owing largely to historical references to a past practice (see figure
11). As should now be apparent, this was not simply the substitution of one term by another,
but involved the jettisoning of a range of personal qualities relating to the conduct of
philosophy and the living of the philosophical life."
