= The Role of Science in the Development of WMT =

In order for us to determine the role of Science, let us define it first:

//Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice.//

Now we know the meaning of Science, now we need a method on how to apply the knowledge that we acquire:

//Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.//

Science is the branch of knowledge dealing with people and the understanding we have of our environment and how it works. Humans incessantly explore experiment, create, and examine the world. This urge to know more and explore the unexplored has given birth to the field called science. The active process by which physical, biological, and chemical occurrences are studied is known as science .The origin of science has been lost in the mists of time. Science- this single word itself has a lot to say. Science has done a great service to mankind by giving birth to medical technology .Medical Science has developed a lot, Thousands of lives are saved every day due to the progress of medical science. Today, Once incurable diseases like small-pox have completely been eradicated and dreaded maladies like Cancer are no longer without a remedy. These days there is a cure or atleast a prevention for almost every diseases. In short we totally depend upon these things.

As we look at the definition of Science and its application Scientific Method, we could conclude that Science helps WMT evolve through evaluating and challenging the current norms and standards. Current procedures are tested if they are still valid compared to newer discoveries. It is a continuous evolution. The facts that we believe now, may be either supported or opposed by a new discovery.
