The Royal Society was founded in 1660 to discuss and practise and promote "Physico-Mathematical Experimental Learning", which is as good a short definition of science as I have ever heard of.
The word "science" itself is a very new one, and it is not particularly helpful, in that it means very little in and of itself. Physico-Mathematical Experimental Learning, is an accurate one sentence definition, and it sounds like a much more exciting thing to be doing .
