You know, that camera you are holding? that's science
The computer you are using, sattelite, electricity to send the post. that's science too.

oh and the blockchain that makes you shekels..that's science too.

but hey. what do i know. Be sceptic about it. The money made from these dubious things are not real. wire them to me.

It is not. Understanding it, inventing it, optimizing it is science. The camera itself is not science. It is the result and application of the scientific process.

Same goes for the other examples you mentioned.

It takes a genius to invent the blockchain. Any village idiot can operate it. That doesn't make it "science".
