The term 'Science' originates from the Latin (Roman) word 'Scientia' or 'Scire,' signifying knowledge. It encompasses the comprehension of natural occurrences and their interrelations, aiming for the rational interpretation of existential facts as perceived by our faculties and senses. According to the eminent thinker Karl Pearson, scientific hypotheses are formulated based on observed facts, which, after scrutiny and experimentation, evolve into the "Laws of Nature." J. Arthur Thomson describes Science as a rigorously critiqued body of empirical knowledge, succinctly articulating observable phenomena and encapsulating regularities of change in formulas known as laws, verifiable by those employing scientific methods. Hypotheses, theories, and laws constitute the vertices of the scientific triangle, grounded in experimentation and observation.
