Science is concerted sophontic effort to understand, or to understand better the physical and natural worlds through observation, predictions, and experiments.
- Scientific research and study is quantified through the use of metrics.
- It can also refer to a systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject.
- Please also see Science & Research in Charted Space.
Description (Specifications)
Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural worlds through observation and experiment.
- It is quantified through the use of metrics.
NBIC Technologies

History & Background (Dossier)
Science is not just a step-by-step approach to discovery. Science is more like a mystery inviting anyone who is interested to become a detective and join in the fun. Curious sophonts continue to explore the universe and have done so for millennia.
