What is Science - Wikipedia

Science helps people understand the world around them and make informed decisions. It also provides knowledge and skills that are important for future life and occupations, contributing to economic and social progress

The essence of science is a system for gaining knowledge through observation, testing, and reasoning. It's a process, a product, and an institution that allows people to construct new knowledge and use information to achieve goals

Scientific theories should fit new observations that weren't used to formulate them, and these predictions don't necessarily have to be about future events. For example, they could be about evidence from the past that hasn't been found or studied yet.

The essence of science is the scientific method, which allows scientists to perform experiments and use the results to improve society. The scientific method is an organized way of studying something that uses scientific thinking.

Modern science is typically divided into three major branches: the natural sciences (e.g., physics , chemistry , and biology ), which study the physical world ; the social sciences (e.g., economics , psychology , and sociology ), which study individuals and societies; and the formal sciences (e.g., logic , mathematics , and theoretical computer science ), which study formal systems , governed by axioms and rules.Applied sciences are disciplines that use scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as in engineering and medicine.
