For our purpose, science may be defined as ordered knowledge of natural phenomena and of the relations between them; thus it is a short term for natural science, and as such is used here technically in conformity with a general modern convention.
The beginnings of physical science are to be sought in the slow and unconscious, observation by primitive races of men of natural occurrences, such as the apparent movements of the heavenly bodies, and in the gradually The acquired mastery over the rude implements by the of scieirce.
Besides the broad distinction into physical and biological science, minute subdivisions arose, and, at a certain stage of development, much attention was, given to methods of classification, and much emphasis laid on the results, which were thought to have a significance beyond that of the mere convenience of mankind.

 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

As the head of the natural sciences and also a professor, Himes was able to travel the world sharing his research with others and obtained new scientific theories and advances (source 2).
The demand for science course was so high around the year 1865 that Himes pushed for and was granted the ability to teach elective lab courses at the college (source 2).
Science may not have seemed important to many other people in the past, but thanks to men like Dr. Benjamin Rush, who was willing to take chances; natural sciences had a chance to be taught.

Modern science is a body of verifiable empirical knowledge, a global community of scholars, and a set of techniques for investigating the universe known as the scientific method.
Philosophy differs from science in that, while both the natural and the social sciences attempt to base their theories on established fact, philosophy also enquires about other areas of knowledge, notably ethics.
Since the 1960s, a common trend in the study of the sociology and history of science (science studies) has been to emphasize the "human component" to scientific knowledge, and to de-emphasize the view that scientific data is self-evident, value-free, and context-free.

 Weather stations for Seward Peninsula schools part of grant program
Ned Rozell is a science writer at the institute.
Plumb and his colleagues at the National Weather Service are interested in getting all the schools’ weather stations on the Internet to help with forecasting; some of the villages have automated weather stations, but the Weather Service has some holes we might be able to help fill, such as in White Mountain and Elim.
Hopefully by the end of this summer we’ll have weather stations installed in all the schools on the peninsula (and on St. Lawrence Island), and when all the science teachers get back this fall they’ll be able to use the stations with their students.

In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).
In 1742, Jean Le Rond D'Alembert introduced the principle which permitted the reduction of a problem in dynamics to one in statics: Kinetic equilibrium is obtained by inventing a fictional force equal in magnitude to the body in question and opposite in acceleration.

For example, the prolongation of the striatal dopamine clearance rate was associated with a significant (75– 95%) decrease in the amount of dopamine released in response to stimulation (18, 19, 22), suggesting that the actual amount of releasable dopamine in the DAT-KO mice was decreased.

 Zoroastrian and Parsis in Science Fiction
Zoroastrianism is mentioned rarely within science fiction, and when it is mentioned, it is usually only in passing.
Science fiction writers, aware of the precarious and possibly declining numbers of the Zoroastrian population, may prefer to avoid predicting the continued existence or significance of a such a group.
Disregarding Ellison's appropriation of Zarathustra's name in a philosophical scene, the only science fiction novels we are aware of with actual Zoroastrian characters are Harrison's Bill, the Galactic Hero (in which the title character is a Zoroastrian), and Stephenson's The Diamond Age (which sports a minor, unnamed Parsi banker).

Truly, my philanthropic friends, Exeter Hall Philanthropy is wonderful; and the Social Science—not a "gay science," but a rueful—which finds the secret of this universe in "supply-and-demand," and reduces the duty of human governors to that of letting men alone, is also wonderful.
Not a "gay science," I should say, like some we have heard of; no, a dreary, desolate, and indeed quite abject and distressing one; what we might call, by way of eminence, the dismal science.

Evidence from northern Sweden suggests that this area may have unleashed monster earthquakes when the ice age ended, only a short geologic span ago, says Ronald Arvidsson, a seismologist at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The uncharacteristic quakes within a tectonic plate occurred because the land sprang up after the heavy European ice sheet melted away, he reports in the Nov. 1 Science.
Arvidsson studied a series of northern Scandinavian faults that formed 9,000 years ago, just after the disappearance of the ice sheet there.
