for science

An exclamation used to justify whenever someone does something just
for the heck of it, or to see what would happen; it was not done needlessly, but rather for the advancement of science!
Typically spoken of either in a comical
Bill Nye way or in an insane, mad scientist way. Props, like a working
Tesla coil, are recommended but not required.
Science
by 1Kain3 on Aug 23, 2008 13:16:00
A system of understanding the physical universe that is open to adapting to new information, even if that new information means that what was previously assumed to be true has to be
henceforth regarded as false.
Contrary to popular belief, a scientist does not (or at least should not) attempt to prove their theories correct, but rather attempt to find any flaw in
the theory, so as to gain a better understanding of the
fundamental principal being studied
Example:
The difference between
Astronomy and
Astrology is that Astronomy has undergone numerous changes in the course of its history. Astrology, on the other hand, still suggests that someone born in, say, late October, is a "Libra" when in fact the zodiacal constallation the sun was in when they were born would in fact be
Virgo.
This is an easy way of seeing why Astronomy is a science, while Astrology is now mostly relegated to the horoscopes section of the newspaper.
SCIENCE!

Subtly different from regular, or garden, science, SCIENCE! is when reality starts to break down
in a haze of maniacal cackling. Any idiot can practise science. It takes a real psychotic genius to pull off SCIENCE! The capital letters and exclamation mark are important.
Newtons laws of motion are science.
Frankenstein's monster was SCIENCE!
Performing SCIENCE! occasionally leads to angry mobs attacking your isolated castle, wielding pitchforks and burning torches.

The act of winning an argument using
scientific fact. It must be done around other people and used in a similar fashion to being burned or
schooled. Many times, people will be unable
to handle this and give up the argument.
Example:
Person 1:
Pluto isn't a planet because it doesn't dominate its own orbit.
Person 2: Pluto is a type of planet called a
dwarf planet; therefore, it's a planet. Would you like a NASA article about it?
Person 1: Whatever...
Person 2: You just got
scienced.
