science is not a popular subject now a days . explain?

Science is popular, but not as popular as it could be, or has been in the past, particularly in some places. There might be many reasons for this:\n\n1. Science is complicated, with many details. As science advances, the forefront is harder for people to understand.\n\n2. Science uses its own special language. Some words have diffrent meaning than in common usage, like "theory". It confuses people and presents a barrier to understanding. \n\n3. Science is under assault in some places by religious elements. \n\n4. Science is linked with negative things, like pollution and advances in military weapons, in many people's minds. \n\n5. Science has become large and bureaucratic as it has grown. \n\n6. Scientific activities often raise ethical questions, like stem cell research, or human cloning. \n\n7. Science is viewed as useless, as opposed to engineering, which focuses more on applications. \n\nAnd so on.

All it means is that we don't know everything. We've learned quite a bit in the short time since we developed written language and the scientific method, and the rate of learning is accelerating. We'll learn more in the next 10 years than we've learned in the last 100. We'll probably understand the nature of dark matter in the next 10-20 years, and I would bet long odds that it won't require any supernatural explanation.

It is a central science that under pins much of science. It teaches you not so much what to think, but how to think.

To physicists, "modern physics" refer to all the discoveries in physics that have taken place since the start of the 20th century (i.e., since the 1900s. This also includes the new branches of physics which have arisen since then as well - string theory, quantum mechanics, cosmology, nuclear physics, atomic physics - to name a few. Astronomy (which is a science, unlike astrology, which has no basis in scientific fact) is as old as the oldest civilizations and is not considered 'modern physics.'

Science will help you get employment in many fields.  It has so many uses that are crucial to our lives today.  There is medecine, Astronomy, Physics for engineering and a host of other things.  I wish I could have done more in that field when I was in school.

I loved science. Not the kind that involved any math, but doing experiments and learning about how the world works is very interesting to me. I had a lot of questions when I was young, and still do. Science helped answer so many of them. (And you get to see things blow up!)

Science is an excellent instrument to develop and illuminate the human mind, like religion.\nBig Bang, Evolution, Relativity...are most advanced theories for discovering the mysterious physical world; they are not absolute truth to replace the theories derived from religion. Creationism, Causality, Predestination... needs be considered in the same light.\nWe all, theists and atheists, do not possess the absolute truth, so we better cooperate harmoniously in learning for the illumination of our souls for the collective advancement of all mankind, instead of denying or trying to eliminate each other.

Ever since man took an interest in the sciences, from perhaps the time of Aristotle onwards, from time to time great ideas have been put forward. Some of these have seemed initially ludicrous, and turned out to be so. Others, with a little development, have given us a great insight into the way that the world works and enabled us to move on. \nAt a given moment of time, it may appear that what we know is fairly correct and will correct timelessly. However, history has shown that this is not the case. Eventually, perhaps, we will know everything, but right now this is far from the case. \nTake one of the fundamental aspects of physics, for instance. For a long time now people have thought that the matter is made up of tiny, invisible particles; atoms and their sub-components. This is the model we learn and that everyone worked around. \nYet in recent times, this has been challenged, by what is known as string theory - and it now seems that this is a better model, perhaps the more 'correct' one. \nString theory, against the traditional theory of matter, says that matter is caused by the vibrations of a string-like structure. These are the fundamental building blocks of matter. It is a bizarre sounding radical theory at first, but now has much support. \nJust like a violin string when plucked will produce sounds, and different sounds when plucked in different ways, so it is with the universe - with string theory, the fluctuations give rise to matter. On this view, the universe may romantically be described as a symphony. The framework of the vibrating string causes the song that we see around us. \nThis, then, in outline is string theory, and it has greatly changed the way that modern physicists do their subject.

Well! according to me the role of US in the modern society has changed from the past. Previously t used to be known as the nation which could take the World to the next level of technology science. But now it is trying to dominate countries and make them obey its orders or face the consequences.

science is the pursuit of knowledge of the physical.  belief systems deal with the supernatural.  i think that priority should be given to what will better society as a whole and science shouldn't worry about what people think.

It is a science. Trying to understand how things works, through observation and logical analysis. It is less precise or clear-cut than physics or chemistry, but that's because the subject matter keeps changing.

Science is a very generalized area of study.  It includes everything from physics and chemistry to zoology and mathematics.  These more specific scientific areas of study can then be further broken down into specializations like astrophysics or marine biology.

It seems to be in remission.  Science and Christianity for example used to be polar opposites, and those who followed science were put to death in some cases.  Then science and christianity became like realitives that didn't speak to each other.  A little bad mouthin around the neighbors, but no big deal.  The science started to win, where christianity had to make excuses for Genesis (oh, what's a day in the life of God?) and such.  Now it seems that christianity is trying to hold its own again and ignore science.

it would be cosmology - because it has only just began to be explored, examining dark matter, behaviour of the largest things in the universe, or possibly quantum mechanics - which deals with the smallest pieces of the universe and how they interact. \n\nCreationism is not a science its a belief system that is around 2000 years old, If you do the research you will discover that one of the two sciences i have mentioned above are the most recently discovered, started and recognised.\n\nanything else has been around for a very long time.\n\nApart from genetic research which has been around only slightly longer than the sciences above,

Mythbuster's "science" is a bunch of hooey.\nCiting that as evidence for or against something is not a very convincing argument.

This answer changes every day. The field of genetics is expanding right now, and "discoveries" are made everyday. Sometimes these are new discoveries, other times they are research that disproves another scientist's discovery. Just keep looking at the news. The sources below have all kinds of recent advancements in genetics..
