Answer 3

By definition, Science is based on

- Observation

- Forming a Theory to Explain the Observation

- Using the Theory to Predict Results

- If the Theory is proven conclusively, it becomes a Law

- Then we go back to Observation and see if any new observation violates known Laws, and the cycle repeats.

The end result is the accumulation of the knowledge and applications of Laws and Theories that govern our Universe.
