Interestingly I recently mistakenly thought that the two words science and seance share a common ancestor. I was wrong. While one begins with sitting the other referred to knowledge that can be shared. Sitting however makes one think of zen and science perhaps matches dharma (the body of knowledge in Buddhism.) Science has been illuminating our world since the Antiquity and long before science was coined as a word.
However initial science in the early 19th century was mostly to the public a show - a seance.
