<blockquote>
<p>The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property.</p>

<p><strong> Science</strong> (from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_language" title="Latin language">Latin</a> <em>scientia</em>, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge" title="Knowledge">knowledge</a> in the form of testable <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explanation" title="Explanation">explanations </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions" title="Predictions">predictions</a> about the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe" title="Universe">universe</a>.</p>
