    Science (from the Latin word scientia, meaning "knowledge")[1] is a systematic enterprise that builds

    and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.[2][a]
    The earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to
    3000 BCE.[3][4] Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and
    shaped Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to
    explain events of the physical world based on natural causes.[3][4] After the fall of the Western Roman
    Empire, knowledge of Greek conceptions of the world deteriorated in Western Europe during the
    early centuries (400 to 1000 CE) of the Middle Ages[5] but was preserved in the Muslim world during
    the Islamic Golden Age.[6] The recovery and assimilation of Greek works and Islamic inquiries into
    Western Europe from the 10th to 13th century revived natural philosophy,[5][7] which was later
    transformed by the Scientific Revolution that began in the 16th century[8] as new ideas and
    discoveries departed from previous Greek conceptions and traditions.[9][10][11][12] The scientific
    method soon played a greater role in knowledge creation and it was not until the 19th century that
    many of the institutional and professional features of science began to take shape.[13][14][15]
    Modern science is typically divided into three major branches that consist of the natural
    sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, and physics), which study nature in the broadest sense; the social
    sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which study individuals and societies; and
    the formal sciences (e.g., logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science), which study
    abstract concepts. There is disagreement,[16][17] however, on whether the formal sciences actually
    constitute a science as they do not rely on empirical evidence.[18] Disciplines that use existing
    scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as engineering and medicine, are described
    as applied sciences.[19][20][21][22]
    Science is based on research, which is commonly conducted in academic and research
    institutions as well as in government agenciesand companies. The practical impact of scientific
    research has led to the emergence of science policies that seek to influence the scientific enterprise
    by prioritizing the development of commercial products, armaments, health care, and environmental
    protection.
