Abstract
Science (in Greek \(\acute{\varepsilon}\pi\iota\sigma\tau\acute{\eta}\mu\eta (=\rm{epist\bar{e}m\bar{e}})\) from the verb \(\acute{\varepsilon}\pi\iota\sigma\tau\acute{\eta}\mu\alpha\iota\) (= to know well, in Latin scientia, from the verb scire = to know) is any system of knowledge dealing with the physical world and its phenomena and presupposes unbiased observation and experimentation. In general, all sciences search for knowledge covering generalized truths or the operation of fundamentals laws of nature.
