According to the encyclopedia..


A scientist , in a broad sense, is one
engaging in a systematic activity to
acquire knowledge . In a more
restricted sense, a scientist may
refer to an individual who uses the
scientific method . [1] The person
may be an expert in one or more
areas of science. [2] This article
focuses on the more restricted use
of the word. Scientists perform
research toward a more
comprehensive understanding of
nature , including physical,
mathematical and social realms.
Philosophy can be seen as a distinct
activity and which many consider
not to be a science. It is aimed
towards a more comprehensive
understanding of intangible aspects
of reality and experience that
cannot be physically measured.
Scientists are also distinct from
engineers, those who design, build
and maintain devices for particular
situations. When science is done
with a goal toward practical utility,
it is called applied science. An
applied scientist may not be
designing something in particular,
but rather is conducting research
with the aim of developing new
technologies and practical methods.
When science is done with an
inclusion of intangible aspects of
reality it is called natural
philosophy .
