What is science – Myth about Science

What is science – Myth about Science

So, welcome to Science Trekkers! This is the first post of the blog, and since the word "science" is in the blog title, I thought it would be fitting to discuss what science is and the myths surrounding it. Now, when I say myths, I don't mean I'll be myth-busting about scientific facts you've seen on TikTok, YouTube shorts, or Instagram reels. I simply mean exploring how people understand the word "science." So, let's start trekking the mountain of science. Be careful and watch out, as you might just fall in love with Science Trekkers.

What is Science?

Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world, following a systematic methodology based on evidence. But let's not get confused and think too much about the previous two lines.

 Let's decode it in the Science Trekkers way:

Science is like a cosmic comedy show where we investigate the hilarious mysteries of the universe. It's the art of asking questions, conducting wacky experiments, and decoding the mind-bending rules that govern our world. Think of it as a never-ending adventure filled with explosions, "Eureka!" moments, and nerdy superheroes in lab coats.

Myth about Science

Generally, many of you, including myself until I completed high school, thought that science means physics, chemistry, and biology. I didn't include maths as part of science. But Science has different plans. It's not limited to just these three. There are numerous branches that reading the list itself would tire you out. Here is the list:

1. Physics

2. Chemistry

3. Biology

4. Astronomy

5. Earth Sciences (including geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental science)

6. Mathematics

7. Computer Science

8. Engineering

9. Environmental Science

10. Psychology

11. Sociology

12. Anthropology

13. Economics

14. Political Science

15. Neuroscience

16. Genetics

17. Botany

18. Zoology

19. Microbiology

20. Biochemistry

21. Physiology

22. Ecology

23. Geophysics

24. Paleontology

25. Materials Science

26. Pharmacology

27. Immunology

28. Statistics

29. Linguistics

30. Social Work

31. Biotechnology

32. Agriculture

33. Food Science

34. Forensic Science

35. Veterinary Science

36. Entomology

37. Oceanography

38. Archaeology

39. Astrophysics

40. Atomic and Molecular Physics

If you didn't feel tired after reading the list, you might be a robot. And just to let you know, that's just a few branches of science. There are more and more that you can't even count, even if you search on Google. I've already tried.

So finally, we've trekked safely and reached the top of today's blog. If you have any doubts, please comment below and share your opinions and feedback about the blog. Let's together trek the mountains of science and investigate the truths. Let's meet again with another topic of science. Remember what I said about science because my blog is all dependent on that definition only.

Farewell for now, and may your scientific adventures be filled with laughter, knowledge, and endless delight.
