Western knowledge systems use science to try to prove if things are true. It often involves using technology to do an experiment and test a hypothesis. Learning is done at schools, at desks, and usually indoors. Sometimes the information is closely guarded by companies, governments or individuals and requires a payment or a permission to access it. Sometimes the idea or inspiration to do modern research comes from traditional knowledge, but it is rarely acknowledged in a bibliography as a valuable source.
