Quote by Walter Lang

Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable.

Summary

This quote defines science as a field that is characterized by experimentation, repeatability, predictability, and falsifiability. In other words, scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence acquired through systematic observation and testing. The emphasis on experimental methods highlights the importance of conducting controlled experiments to gather data and draw conclusions. Repeatability ensures that scientific findings can be independently verified by others. Predictability refers to the ability to anticipate and explain natural phenomena based on scientific principles. Lastly, falsifiability stresses the need for scientific theories to be testable and capable of being proven wrong or modified in the light of new evidence.
