Document Summary
Science is driven by curiosity focused towards a question that scientific methods can help to inform. The scientific method is a set of rules that prescribe how to derive knowledge that is valid and certifiable. Science often comes up with new knowledge and things that is known to be quite true but it rarely comes up with new answers to questions about the world. In science, one cannot show a theory is right but only that it is not wrong; theory is good only until new knowledge is gained which the theory cannot accommodate. Sometimes it is not easy or even possible to reason why certain knowledge today might be wrong due to the constraint of current technology. There is no absolute truth in science but there are laws involving a natural phenomenon that has been proven to occur invariably whenever certain conditions are met.
