While we may never get there, trying to figure out how is fun and leads to lots of important developments in synthetic polymers and other areas including medicine and biochemistry. This raises the important point that science is like life. It doesn't deal with just one thing, but everything mixed together. It is one of the areas that can help us understand and use the knowledge we get from studying nature. In this way, we develop technology.
Science is the act of gathering knowledge by observation and experimentation.
Technology is putting this knowledge to use. Then using technology, we use the principle hot gasses expanding to make a gasoline engine that can power a car. Both share many common traits but they are very different in how they are made and in their physical properties. They are alike in that the both contain amide linkages in the backbone. Amides are made from carboxylic acid groups and amine groups through the loss of water.
