The meaning of science..

To define science itself may not be a simple task, for it could be defined in many ways and forms. The basic idea is that it is something that is well established. It can be called a field or area
of study defined my humans. It defines logic to us. It separates reality from fiction or assumptions.

The basic function of science is based on logic. It finds answers that we do not know or not sure of by proving it logically, mathematically or physically; with the
help of theories, calculations and data analysis.

In modern terms science is the pursuit of knowledge, not knowledge itself. A much closer definition in terms of Aristotle says that science refers to the body of reliable knowledge itself,
the type that can be explained logically and rationally. To a person like me science is the
technology that is surrounding me all the time, where ever I turn to. From my clothes, watch, mobile to whatever I see through my eyes is science to me. It doesn’t matter if the object I look into is alive or dead, working or not working, I see science everywhere. In this century it is difficult to see that there is not at all anything that could not be defined by science. Well there
may be a few exceptions like the stories of ghosts that we often hear from our elders. Still, some recent studies have shown the existence of some sort of super natural (which basically is not natural) radiations or emissions of some kind that create such an environment or situation that makes us feel the presence of a ghost near us.

Science has always been there. It was just a matter of time that somebody come up with a logical reasoning to define it. The evolution of mankind is closely related to the evolution of science.
The prehistoric man or those belonged to the stone age discovered a lot of things during their time. some of it they dint even know how. It was not until the later ages that one could explain what it was. This marked the evolution of science. From that time onwards thinkers of various generations and civilizations have started to record their time and actions, and preserve them
for the later generations. This stored information contributed a lot to scientific development. As time passed more information was gathered and the science evolved into various branches for ease of access.

The modern day science is a mixture of a lot of information. This is one field that
grows every minute. The limitations to this knowledge base is unfathomable. For
me it can be said that it is what that keeps me alive and active.
