What is science?

Abstract

The author argues that science is not what philosophers have said and not what teachers' guides say. What is it, then? And states: all my life I have done science and I know what science is, but I am unable to say what it is. And he explains this through the wonderful number ‘pi’, saying: the important thing for me was not the number but the idea that there was a mystery. Yet eventually he risks a definition: doubting about the veracity of what is transmitted to us from the past and trying to determine ab initio those situations again from experience, instead of admitting past experiences as they are told, this is science.
