About the Book

Science is a human imperative. Humans have always sought to understand the workings of the universe and our place in it. From early on, pioneer scientists speculated that daily life is governed by a universal plan. They hypothesized that all phenomena (human and natural) conform to a general law. They speculated that nature unfolds in a predictable way. However, in the quest to understand and explain unknown patterns in the physical world, science has been described using opposing lens. Science was once understood as supernatural phenomenon, mythology and tradition. Science has also been explained as the quest for true knowledge (wisdom). Science is also understood as a form of knowledge, that is, knowledge of the natural world. Today science is understood as an approach of acquiring comprehension or rather the scientific method. These descriptions are almost certainly not precise. This write-up seeks to demonstrate that science is actually an adaptive capacity. Science represents the incremental advancements in the way humans and other living lives harnesses nature to facilitate continued endurance. Science is prompted by the trueness that humans and other living lives have never come to terms with their fate. Science is an essential part of the totality of (human) experience. Since the dawn of life, humans have been pre-occupied with grasping the fullness of the vast unknowns so that they may possibly manage to travel back in time, survey idiosyncratic futures and in effect become immortal. Science gives us more control over the world around us. Technology facilitates the manipulation of the natural world to perpetuate life. Accordingly, what defines science is the purpose (or goal) not the method or any other decisive factor. Science is about change not consensus. The task of science is not merely to improve our understanding of the universe but to change it as much as possible in anticipation of achieving never-ending life. The purpose of science is to grasp and apply the underlying principle(s) of nature to sustain life. The universe was meant to last by means of unending adaptation. Scientifically put: the edict of the universe is to facilitate meaningful life.
