three dimensional spacefigure Science has three meanings:

a corpus,

a means,

a doing.

So by running experiments scientist's findings can be challenged.

Inevitably, what we currently know may change, and significant changes happen.

Science in English usage is a very narrowly defined word.

Science, otherwise, forms a broad body of information that the German and French use that has a fourth characterization:

    1. A corpus, or a body of accumulating knowledge.
    2. A means, or a method to determine reliable data.
    3. A doing, or the application of what is known, applied
    4. A systematically descriptive and analytical use of information.
