The universe represented as multiple disk-formed slices throughout time, which passes from left to proper.
Technology (from the latin word scientia, that means "understanding")[1] is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes expertise within the shape of testable reasons and predictions approximately the universe.[2][a]

The earliest roots of science may be traced to historical egypt and mesopotamia in around 3500 to 3000 bce.[3][4] their contributions to arithmetic, astronomy, and remedy entered and formed greek herbal philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to explain events of the physical international primarily based on natural causes.[3][4] after the fall of the western roman empire, information of greek conceptions of the sector deteriorated in western europe at some point of the early centuries (four hundred to one thousand ce) of the center a while[5] however turned into preserved in the muslim international throughout the islamic golden age.[6] the recuperation and assimilation of greek works and islamic inquiries into western europe from the tenth to 13th century revived herbal philosophy,[5][7] which changed into later converted through the clinical revolution that started out within the 16th century[8] as new thoughts and discoveries departed from preceding greek conceptions and traditions.[9][10][11][12] the medical approach quickly played a more function in expertise creation and it became not until the nineteenth century that among the institutional and professional functions of technological know-how started to take shape.[13][14][15]

Contemporary science is commonly divided into three fundamental branches that include the natural sciences (e.G., biology, chemistry, and physics), which take a look at nature within the broadest feel; the social sciences (e.G., economics, psychology, and sociology), which study people and societies; and the formal sciences (e.G., common sense, arithmetic, and theoretical pc science), which observe abstract ideas. There is war of words,[16][17] however, on whether or not the formal sciences sincerely constitute a science as they do not rely upon empirical proof.[18] disciplines that use present clinical expertise for realistic purposes, inclusive of engineering and medication, are defined as carried out sciences.[19][20][21][22]

Technology is primarily based on studies, that is usually carried out in instructional and research institutions in addition to in authorities companies and groups. The practical effect of clinical studies has brought about the emergence of technology guidelines that seek to steer the medical organisation by using prioritizing the improvement of industrial products, armaments, fitness care, and environmental safety.
