What Science Is Science is not a body of knowledge but a method. A self-correcting process: form a hypothesis, test it against evidence, revise the understanding when the evidence demands it. The Royal Society's Philosophical Transactions began publishing in 1665, and what's now called peer review grew out of the editorial practices that took hold in the centuries after. The accumulated output of the method, applied persistently across centuries, is most of what we now call modern medicine, materials, communications, energy, and our picture of the cosmos. The piece points at the practice itself, not at a single discovery.
