I 've been wondering, what isn't related to science? Do all things in this universe that we see and do relate to science? I've thought about this many times and i can't figure out one thing! Please tell me what you think!

I've thought about it a while. Cooking uses chemistry. Looking at the stars is Astronomy. Engineering is all about science. Electricity is 1 part of science. Even English is sorta of a science. You do study words in our language, right? scream My brain is starting to hurt! confused

If we want to be technical, science is the investigation of the world using the scientific method. So cooking isn't really doing science, it's more like engineering.
I think the technical definition is restrictive, though. Science has applications to everything there is, even if we don't use it explicitly. You mentioned English- I consider linguistics to be a social science smile You're investigating a human-created phenomenon, so it's as much a science as psychology is!

I voted "yes" before I thought of it.
Science is a human concept, based on systematic knowledge... We could follow that by saying without humans, there'd be no science, because there would be no one to categorize the universe into its different happenings.
Of course, without people the phenomena in the universe would still be there, but the big thinking machine that's scientific knowledge would not. Other species would apply science to their everyday lives, but would it be science without us?

Science is a collection of human knowledge of the physical world. So since the physical world is everything, science is everything. Although it's human knowledge - which changes, is wrong, is right, etc. When people start to criticize "science" I think they forget this.
