What is Science?
It was asked in one of my comments why I have so many subjects on this blog. The blog is about the sciences and not any one in particular. While I have a focus on space and weather as these are my favorites and ones that I have the most familiarity with, I do include subjects from the other science categories.
What is science? The definition for the term science, as found on the internet at dictionary.reference.com is: (1) a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: mathematical science; (2) systematical knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation or experimentation; (3) systemized knowledge in general; (4) any branch of natural or physical science; (5) knowledge, as of facts or principles; knowledge gained by systematic study; (6) a particular branch of knowledge; (7) skill, especially reflecting a precise application of facts or principles; proficiency.
