MY OWN VOCABULARY

Science: Is the systematized knowledge, developed through observations, reasoning and evidence methodically organized. Science uses different methods and techniques for the acquisition and organization of knowledge about the structure of a set of objective facts that are accessible to several observers. The application of these methods and knowledge leads to the generation of more objective knowledge in the form of specific, quantitative and verifiable predictions related to facts from past, present and future. Often these predictions can be made through reasoning and also these predictions can be structured as universal rules or laws. One prediction can explain the behavior of a system and predict how this system will act in certain circumstances.

Invention: Is an object, technique or process that has novel features. It can be related to any idea, collaboration or prior innovation. Its process requires the knowledge of a concept or of an existing method that can be amended or transformed into a new invention. However, some inventions also represent an innovative creation without background in science or technology. Those inventions expand the limits of human knowledge.

Inventor: Person who has created or conceived something that did not exist before. Inventor also can be the person engaged of inventing things in order to satisfy people’s desires and needs.
