No one knows. Because no one has ever really been able to make one dominant definition of science stick. Some people define it as a method (e.g. Popper), some as a sociological phenomenon (Kuhn, Lakatos), and others don’t even see much need for a definition (Feyerabend). And there are plenty of other opinions too.
