1. What is science?
Answer: Science is a human activity in
which people look carefully at things in the world to learn more about them. New
information is discovered by means of careful observation and controlled experiments.
Scientists also imagine theories to explain what they observe. Then they make more
observations and experiments to test their theories. If a theory is designed so there is
no possibility to test it and prove it false, it is not a scientific theory. It is a
theory of philosophy or religion.1
