From its early beginnings, science has developed into one of the greatest and most influential fields of human endeavor. Today different branches of science investigate almost everything that can be observed or detected, and science as a whole shapes the way we understand the universe, our planet, ourselves, and other living things.

From its early beginnings, science has developed into one of the greatest and most influential fields of human endeavor. As a result, the majority of people on the planet now live longer and healthier lives than ever before.

We know sciences:
The mathematical sciences
The physical sciences
The earth sciences
The life sciences
The social sciences
Technology

The mathematical sciences investigate the relationships between things that can be measured or quantified in either a real or abstract form.
The physical sciences investigate the nature and behavior of matter and energy on a vast range of size and scale.
The earth sciences examine the structure and composition of our planet, and the physical processes that have helped to shape it.
The life sciences include all those areas of study that deal with living things.
The social sciences explore human society past and present, and the way human beings behave.
In technology, scientific knowledge is put to practical ends. This knowledge comes chiefly from mathematics and the physical sciences, and it is used in designing machinery, materials, and industrial processes.
