Science is embraced and fundamentally practiced everywhere around the world, determining who discovers what and where really shouldn’t matter for the betterment of the human species.
No one really understands what “Science” is because everyone has their own interpretation. “different ways knowledge has been produced both now and in the past, and how different peoples and cultures have come to hold the beliefs they have about the natural world”
