The Scientist of the Scientist

Science has been the most important tool of humanity even before the dawn of history. Humans have used science, without even knowing that they are scientists, to understand and improve every aspect of their lives. For many thousands of years, the way to handle, make sense of and address the experiences of life was through the use of science (and myth). "The purpose of science and art is one: to render experiences intelligible, i.e., to assist man to adjust himself and the environment in order that he may live" (White, 1938). Although the term'science' had different meaning than the one we use today, throughout history the knowledge created by science enabled humanity to create technologies.
