Science and technology News,
The term science refers
to the organized body of knowledge concerning the physical world, both
animate and inanimate, but a proper definition would also have to include
the attitudes and methods through which this body of knowledge is formed;
thus, a science is both a particular kind of activity and also the results
of that activity.
Science as it is known today is of relatively modern origin,
but the traditions out of which it has emerged reach back beyond recorded
history. The roots of science lie in the technology of early toolmaking and
other crafts, while scientific theory was once a part of philosophy and
religion. This relationship, with technology encouraging science rather than
the other way around, remained the norm until recent times. Thus, the
history of science is essentially intertwined with that of technology.
Science may be roughly divided into the physical sciences, the
earth sciences, and the life sciences. Mathematics,
while not a science, is closely allied to the sciences because of their
extensive use of it. Indeed, it is frequently referred to as the language of
science, the most important and objective means for communicating the results of
science. The physical sciences include physics, chemistry,
and astronomy;
the earth sciences (sometimes considered a part of the physical sciences)
include geology, paleontology, oceanography,
and meteorology;
and the life sciences include all the branches of biology such
as botany, zoology, genetics,
and medicine.
Each of these subjects is itself divided into different branches-e.g.,
mathematics into arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and analysis; physics into
mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, acoustics, electricity and magnetism, and
atomic and nuclear physics. In addition to these separate branches, there are
numerous fields that draw on more than one branch of science, e.g.,
astrophysics, biophysics, biochemistry, geochemistry, and geophysics.
All of these areas of study might be called pure sciences, in
contrast to the applied, or engineering, sciences, i.e., technology, which is
concerned with the practical application of the results of scientific activity.
Such fields include mechanical, civil, aeronautical, electrical, architectural,
chemical, and other kinds of engineering;
agronomy, horticulture, and animal husbandry; and many aspects of medicine.
Finally, there are distinct disciplines for the study of the history and
philosophy of science.
In India an alphabetic script was developed, as well as a numeral system based
on place value and including a zero; this latter Hindu contribution was adopted
by the Arabs and combined with their numeral system. Important Hindu scientists
flourished in the 6th and 7th cent. A.D. and also in the 12th cent., making
contributions to astronomy and mathematics. Many of these early Indian works
showed the influence of Greek science, as in the geocentric systems of
astronomy, or of Babylonian science, as in their development of algebraic
methods for solving many problems.
