    Science began developing in ancient civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia, with formal attempts to provide natural explanations of physical events. This early natural philosophy grew into the modern scientific tradition during the Scientific Revolution starting in 16th century Europe. Science is now a systematic effort to build knowledge through testable explanations and predictions, with the scientific method playing a central role. Modern science consists of the natural sciences studying nature, social sciences studying individuals and societies, and formal sciences studying abstract concepts.

    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][3][4]
    The earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to
    3000 BCE.[5][6] Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped
    Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to provide
    explanations of events in the physical world based on natural causes.[5][6] 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[7] but was preserved in
    the Muslim world during the Islamic Golden Age.[8] The recovery and assimilation of Greek
    works and Islamic inquiries into Western Europe from the 10th to 13th century revived "natural
    philosophy",[7][9] which was later transformed by the Scientific Revolution that began in the 16th
    century[10] as new ideas and discoveries departed from previous Greek conceptions and
    traditions.[11][12][13][14] 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;[15][16][17] along with the changing of "natural philosophy" to "natural science."[18]
    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,[19][20][21] however, on whether the forma
