Topic description:
Science is the systematic, evidence-based study of natural phenomena and the laws of the universe, spanning fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Scientific discovery often inspires science-fiction stories and speculative ideas. Research builds step by step and continuously refines our view of the world. Science is not a static collection of facts but a living process that also raises questions about the future.
