    Science (from Latin: scientia meaning "knowledge") is a company that systematically build and organize knowledge in the form tested explanations and predictions about the universe. An older meaning is closely related and still in use today is that of Aristotle, for whom scientific knowledge is a reliable body of knowledge that can be logically and rationally explained (see "History and etymology" section below). Since the days of classical science as a kind of knowledge is closely related to philosophy. In the modern era of the early two-word, "science" and "philosophy", sometimes used interchangeably in English. In the 17th century, "natural philosophy" (which is today called "natural science") began to be regarded separately from the "philosophy" in general. However, "science" continues to be used in a broad sense that shows that reliable knowledge about a topic, in the same way it is still used in modern terms such as library science or political science.       In modern usage, the science is "often treated as synonymous with 'natural and physical sciences', and thus limited to the branches of study concerned with the phenomena of the material universe and their laws, sometimes with implied exclusion of pure mathematics. This is now the dominant sense in ordinary use. "narrow sense" science "developed as part of the science into a different company to define" natural law ", based on early examples such as Kepler's laws, the laws of Galileo, and Newton's laws of motion . In this period became more common to refer to natural philosophy as the "natural sciences". During the 19th century, the word "science" became increasingly associated with the study of natural disciplines including physics, chemistry, geology and biology. This sometimes left the study of human thought and society in a linguistic limbo, which was completed by grouping the areas of academic study as the social sciences. Similarly, some of the key areas of discipline and knowledge of other studies are currently under the general rubric of "science", such as formal science and applied science.

Money is any object or record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally in the past, a standard of deferred payment. Any kind of object or secure verifiable record that fulfills these functions can serve as money.
Money originated as commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money.  Fiat money is without intrinsic use value as a physical commodity, and derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private".
