Source: In its broadest sense, science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice which is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science often coincides with art, which may contain elements of practice (praxis) that, because of uncontrollability or undefinability, have not been reduced to a reproducible recipe.
