Study Notes

Science has nine main characteristics: objectivity, verifiability, ethical neutrality, systematic exploration, reliability, precision, abstraction, and predictability.
Objectivity means accepting facts as they are, without prejudice or subjective considerations.
Verifiability is based on sensory data and requires concrete, objective observations that can be verified by other observers.
Science is ethically neutral and seeks knowledge, but the use of that knowledge is determined by society's values.
Scientific investigation follows a sequential procedure, including the formulation of hypotheses, compilation and analysis of facts, and generalization and prediction.
Scientific knowledge must be reliable and replicable in any place and at any time.
Accuracy requires giving exact numbers or measures, rather than vague descriptions.
Precision means being truthful and correct in statements or descriptions.
Science works on a plane of abstraction, focusing on general scientific principles rather than realistic images.
Scientists not only describe phenomena but also try to explain and predict them, with predictability being higher in natural sciences than social sciences.
