The word science was derived from the Latin word scire, meaning "to know." Science is a systematic study of anything that can be examined, tested, and verified. From its early beginnings, science has developed into one of the greatest and most influential fields of human endeavour. Today different branches of science investigate almost everything that can be observed or detected, and science as a whole shapes the way we understand our planet, the universe, ourselves, and other living things.
Science has developed through objective analysis, instead of through personal belief. Knowledge gained in science accumulates as time goes by research. Other scientific knowledge such as our understanding of genes that cause cancer or of quarks (the smallest known building block of matter) which dates back less than 50 years. However, in all fields of science, old or new, researchers use the same systematic approach, known as the scientific method, to add to what is known.
Through advances like these, scientific knowledge is constantly added to and refined. As a result, science gives us an ever more detailed insight into the way the world around us works.
