Science

+**Science** is a systematic pursuit of [Knowledge](/wiki/knowledge) about the [Universe](/wiki/universe) through observation and [Experimentation](/wiki/experimentation). It seeks to understand the natural world, building testable explanations and [Prediction](/wiki/prediction). This process involves rigorous [Inquiry](/wiki/inquiry) and the formation of [Hypothesis](/wiki/hypothesis) that can be verified or falsified.

+## Branches of Science

+Science is broadly categorized into several main branches. The [Natural Science](/wiki/natural-science) focuses on the physical world, including [Biology](/wiki/biology), [Physics](/wiki/physics), and [Chemistry](/wiki/chemistry). The [Social Science](/wiki/social-science) studies human society and relationships, encompassing fields like [Sociology](/wiki/sociology) and [Psychology](/wiki/psychology). [Formal Science](/wiki/formal-science), such as [Mathematics](/wiki/mathematics) and [Logic](/wiki/logic), provides the tools and frameworks used across all scientific disciplines.

+## The Scientific Method

+At its core, science relies on the [Scientific Method](/wiki/scientific-method), a structured approach to [Inquiry](/wiki/inquiry). This method typically involves observing phenomena, formulating a [Hypothesis](/wiki/hypothesis), designing and conducting [Experiment](/wiki/experiment) to test the hypothesis, analyzing [Data](/wiki/data), and drawing [Conclusion](/wiki/conclusion). This iterative process allows for constant refinement and validation of scientific understanding.
