Defining science, it turns out, is very difficult. This paper considers two questions: What is science? And What is good science? What is Science? As noted above, its difficult to
define science, though its easy to picture scientists, experiments and equipment. Perhaps the best way to define science is that its a way of looking at the world and defining
it in terms that can be proven. One source tells us that "[S]cience comes from the Latin word knowing" (What is science?). Therefore, scientists are interested in knowing how
and why things happen. In order to find out how things work, they devise hypotheses that can be tested, and rigorously excise any answers that cannot be proven (What is
science?). Further, in testing those hypotheses, they must obtain results that are repeatable by anyone who does the same experiment using the same limiters; that is, anyone who adds two
hydrogen molecules to one oxygen molecule should get water-each and every time, without fail. Even one bad result means that the entire hypothesis is wrong. We can say, then,
that science is a method of studying the universe by forming hypotheses about it, devising experiments to test the hypotheses, and repeating them until there is a result that never
varies, no matter who does the experiment, where or when. This is admittedly a fairly simple definition, but attempting to define science is like trying to nail Jell-O to a
tree, its that difficult. What is Good Science? If science is a way of looking at the universe in terms of testing its properties, then what is good science? We
hear a lot today about "junk science," particularly from politicians who want to discredit inconvenient theories. Obviously there is such a thing as junk science; but what is its opposite?
