Pure science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See also Pure Science for the English electronic music producer Phivos Sebastiane.

Pure science, also called basic science, is the exact science of the development of scientific theories. This research is done at times without consideration of their application, and at other times aims to answer phenomena and possible mechanisms proposed in applied science. The counterpart of applied science, it is sometimes used to refer specifically to physics and pure mathematics. It is "Science for the sake of science." Chemistry, biology, and environmental science are all examples.

Basic science is the heart of all discoveries, and progress is based on well controlled experiments.
