Where did science come from?

Question

histroy or our mind, or is it something they teach at school in that case i dont belive it unless i know i will never really know< ?

Answer 1

Observation of the world around us, something that humans have been doing for millenia.

Science is simply observing, changing something in a controlled manner and observing again. From that an idea of how some portion of the world works may be proposed and predictions made. If the predictions turn out to be accurate, then the idea of how things work is likely to be true.

Of course, valid predictions don&#039;t always mean that you have found the correct explanation. The flat Earth model worked for a long, long time, as did the Earth centered universe. Other models may simply be limited. Newtonian mechanics have served us well and continue to do so. Only when we study astronomical or subatomic phenomena do we need to extend Newtonian physics to Einsteinian physics.

Despite the possibility that science produces incomplete or inaccurate models at times, it still represents humans&#039; best efforts to provide a consistent and meaningful explanation of natural phenomena. The good thing about science is that is is willing to admit mistakes and to take on new models when older ones are shown to be inadequate.

A porferser created and discoved and first started from rersearch.

Answer 3

early ages when the catholic churchs started using parts of the bibles to explain things.   there were people that started to doubt that and then it was known as the age of learning.  started in france.  i dont remeber the date. but it was before 17th century.

they started conducting experments on things to see how it work.  stars and space were among the first to be oberseved.

and they eventually put this into schools to educated about the way things work and if this would have never happen.  the world would be short in bio chemist and medical fields and we would proably have a higher death rate.

but thanks to science people have understood things better.

Answer 4

OK, i met one guy just like you...hopefully you are more intelligent than he was. lol Whether you believe in Science or not it is there. Science is simply the word that defines the study of Earth and it&#039;s living organisms. Since it is just a word, it can also describe such things as politics, hence &quot;Political Science&quot;. Science is not something that requires you to have faith like Religion. It is real, proven facts, or theories...in which this is called a Hypothesis. Do a little bit of research on basically anything...i bet science has been involved. Do you believe in Chemistry? How about Biology? Do you believe you exist? If you answered yes to any of these...guess what!!!! Those are categorically branches of Science! It&#039;s a crazy thing isn&#039;t it. So the bottom line is, If you believe that you are real and the things around you are real...you believe in Science whether you meant to or not. You cannot simply not believe in &quot;The Word Science&quot;.

Answer 5

Art, believe it or not.  An artist wanted to draw a landscape as accurate as possible, so he constructed a grid of squares out of sticks, 8 by 10, or 80 squares and placed it in front of his sight line.  

The artist then had an easel with a parchment with 80 squares and proceeded to transpose what he saw in each square onto the corresponding square on his canvass.  Try this on your own by drawing a 4x4 grid in pencil over a photograph in a newspaper and transpose it to a 4x4 grid on a blank sheet of paper.

This is the first recorded use of applied geometry, which later became know as a matrix and the Cartesian coordinate system.  Empirical methods and experiments followed to give us the systematic body of knowledge we know as science.

Answer 6

It comes from necessity - the mother of all invention.  Humans really can&#039;t survive without technology.  Even the  earliest humans had to devise ways of catching prey, staying warm, keeping safe.  They made tools - not willy-nilly, but purposefully.  They observed, thought, experimented, tested and refined.  They shared their knowledge with others.

Science is nothing more than a rigorously disciplined way to solve our problems and determine the best answer.  We observe, hypothesize, experiment, analyze and conclude.

Before &#039;science&#039; we had people who engaged in science-like activity.  Physicians, Alchemists, wizards, apothecaries, philosophers, astrologers and such.    They developed the knowldegebase on how much of the natural world worked, and ways of verifying or refuting ideas about it.

But as the stakes got higher it was more and more important to know the truth about something with more precision and less room for error.  Fallacy of thought didn&#039;t just doom the thinker, but everyone implementing his ideas.  So, like the first human who figure out how to make and throw a spear to bring down prey because he was always hungry, the scientific method was born because we always needed the right, best answer.

Answer 7

Science comes from the ancient Greek and Ionians observation of the natural world around them.This knowledge was saved and improved upon by the Arabs and Muslim Scholars while Europe was in the dark ages. Translation to Latin from these Arabic languages by Jewish scholars. Added to by merchants from the spice trade about making gun powder, paper, and movable block printing from the far East.

All of these unrelated events came together to form a way of thinking. Using logic and deduction, not religious dogma, to get answers.

Answer 8

My guess is that it was primitives wiping whatever off their animal hide/ fur clothing on a dry day and getting a static shock from it. Regards, Larry.
