I'm compelled here to take some minor role in this having some though not complete university degree education and a history of strong interest in science and the sciences. As I hope most of you are aware on many levels.
That being said.
I have no idea where most of the people here have their undestanding of the word science from.
All it means, in general is that what ever you do has to have the same results if done by anyone without understanding the concepts inhereant to within your field. That is to say, the free transmission of data between subjects on what has been discovered using available methods. The "scientific" principle. That princple is, in short, act as if you are giant antennae for a singular being, observe what goes on around you, write it down, and see if there are any repeating patterns that happen when you act, what are they, write them down, pass them on to others, work as groups to device means to test from many simulatneous vantagepoints what the observed phenomena actually is, write down a theory regarding observed phenomena, hand to other groups for verification and confirmation, once confirmation is attained, work to create larger test using both group simulataneously, repeat ad infinitum.
Whats so difficult abotu that to understand?
Scientific principle is that in short?
Observe
Correlate
Device theory on observed phenomena
Test theory
Share findings and theory with other groups
Repeate 1-4 while waiting confirmation on earlier 5ths.
Once confirmation on 5th is attained, proceed to test theory using both groups to attain a similar yet independent finding, present finding to world community (6th)
What happens when all information is thusly collected into a global database of theoretical observations, no one knows really.
The methods on how you get from stage to stage vary according to field and point of view on sciences in general and are, for the most part, irrelevant.
*ugh* I have spoken, carry on! =)
