“Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.”

Hi
Curiosity is the path for discoveries. So, science without curiosity seems as if you obliged yourself to do something.
Curiosity—not just knowledge—about science influences public perceptions about vaccines, climate change
By Teresa L. Carey
Q: What is science curiosity?
A: Science curiosity is a desire to seek out and consume scientific information just for the pleasure of doing so. People who are science curious do this because they take satisfaction in seeing what science does to resolve mysteries. That is different from somebody who would show interest in scientific information because they had a specific goal like wanting to do well in school. Science-curious people are driven by the pure activity of consuming what science knows.
Q: How do you measure science curiosity?
A: Researchers have had trouble coming up with good measures for curiosity. We decided to make our measures very specific. We embed questions in what looks like a consumer marketing survey. It’s a composite of different types of questions such as self-reported opinions, behaviors, and objective measures. For example, one question helps us determine whether you want to read a story about science as opposed to sports, finance, or entertainment. We also have them watch science videos to see how long it takes before they turn them off. We try not to bombard people with questions that all come down to, “Do you like science?" Because they know what you're after. With our survey, they can't tell what it is we're after.

Science is ultimately a curiosity-driven endeavour . Without curiosity, without that need to know more driving it forward, we would have no high speed internet, no Netflix, and certainly no medical progress.

curiosity brings innovation which in turn brings about discoveries and inventions that make life better- the meaning of science. Thanks
I am neither clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.

Curiosity is the highest form of sublimation of our instinct of self-preservation, which arises in us as in homo sapienses. Science is the product of such collective sublimation.
Research, studies, and explorations, All of which require a passion, interest, and motivation for research and inquiry.
Without curiosity, it is not possible to pay attention to small details of things that may be relevant to reaping the fruits of research, study or exploration results
Curiosity is the motivation of research and inquiry which are both leads to science
Curiosity is the first step in thinking.
So it's part of Science.

Well Prof Al mayahi , Curiosity Wonder is a characteristic of progressive thinking . Answers don't help , "why not" bothers !!!!! Unfortunately, some stage we feel it is enough and that hinders new way of thinking .
Curious brain keeps us young so why get old ???
Why not learn or think differently , thinking we will find a easy way out !?!
Curiosity: It Helps Us Learn, But Why?
Because curiosity motivates us to go out from our comfort zone to explore new ideas beyond what we have already known.
The link below gives four reasons for the importance of curiosity, and all these are related to doing science:
1. It makes your mind active instead of passive
Curious people always ask questions and search for answers in their minds. Their minds are always active. Since the mind is like a muscle which becomes stronger through continual exercise, the mental exercise caused by curiosity makes your mind stronger and stronger.
2. It makes your mind observant of new ideas
When you are curious about something, your mind expects and anticipates new ideas related to it. When the ideas come they will soon be recognized. Without curiosity, the ideas may pass right in front of you and yet you miss them because your mind is not prepared to recognize them. Just think, how many great ideas may have lost due to lack of curiosity?
3. It opens up new worlds and possibilities
By being curious you will be able to see new worlds and possibilities which are normally not visible. They are hidden behind the surface of normal life, and it takes a curious mind to look beneath the surface and discover these new worlds and possibilities.
4. It brings excitement into your life
The life of curious people is far from boring. It’s neither dull nor routine. There are always new things that attract their attention, there are always new ‘toys’ to play with. Instead of being bored, curious people have an adventurous life.
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/4-reasons-why-curiosity-is-important-and-how-to-develop-it.html
curiosity is of prime importance for data science.data is available but unless we know what we seek to extract out of that data,we cannot proceed for right analysis.
One is curious about things he does not know, seeking to know is the following step towards science. Curiosity and need are prerequisites to enhancing science and knowledge.
Curiosity is mean a person's passion to learn and know more and more and more.
Because the origin of scientific research is a problem objected to the researcher who love knows the details and results... in the absence of curiosity did not discover the problem originally
Curiosity is the fuel that drives towards learning which in turn leads him to the path of progress.
Dear Colleagues,
Curiosity is a need of life. One can not live without curiosity. Science is acquired through learning and curiosity.

Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"Why science doesn't work without curiosity
.....
A common criticism levelled at medical research is that much of the animal use is ‘curiosity driven’. In other words, this is science purely for the personal gratification of the researcher, to satisfy their own need for information and knowledge. In 2012 32% of animal procedures (amounting to some 1.3 million animals) were classified as ‘fundamental biological research’. The key criticism is that using animals in this kind of research is wasteful, simply to satisfy a thirst for knowledge.
In fact, it is not so easy to draw distinctions between research that is essential to human health, and research that is just ‘curiosity’. Curiosity is the engine that drives scientific advances, and as such it is impossible to have so called ‘applied’ medical studies without an underpinning of basic research.
Testing whether a cancer drug has the same effect in a living creature as it does in a petri dish has obvious and direct implications for human health. However, that drug may have been discovered through a detailed examination of how one specific molecular pathway functions in healthy cells. On the surface, research like that has no obvious application to medical progress. But rather than being a ‘waste’, this is just one part of developing medical science.
This is true across all scientific fields; the boundary between what is useful and what is just 'finding things out' is not clear cut. One particularly good example comes from the field of laser physics. Across the world, different research groups are fascinated by sending light along optical fibres. The speed at which light can pass along these fibres depends on many factors, such as the chemical composition of the fibre or the kind of laser that you are using. By tweaking different aspects of this very simple set up, researchers can send pulses of light mere femtoseconds in duration along optical fibres. All this sounds very arcane, and probably only of interest to those people deeply invested in the field."...

If not for the curiosity of man and the love of knowledge of things and the cause of occurrence and research in this we did not find knowledge and science
In fact, it is not so easy to draw distinctions between research that is essential to human health, and research that is just ‘curiosity’. Curiosity is the engine that drives scientific advances, and as such it is impossible to have so called ‘applied’ medical studies without an underpinning of basic research.

The curiosity to fill a certain need is when scientific innovation, discovery or a theory occurs. The needs and wants are the precursors of curiosity.

''The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.''
--Edmund Burke
Curiosity is a natural awareness of animals to sense or observe and check/wory if there are problems/treats or a prey and take a priori calculated measures to address the issues they are curious about. In the case of humans, it is beyond that, it is a hyperconsciousness of our brain about natural phenomena we observe or problems we face and think knowing or solving the problems. It is this desire to know the phenomena or to solve the problems which is a reason to our learning. The hyper consciousness and desire to know phenomena or solve problems lead to the development of mathematics and scientific theories as right tools of investigation and addressing the problems.
In my opinion, there is no science without curiosity, Because curiosity is the most important motivation of the researcher to get to the facts of the phenomena he is studying
Of course curiosity is essential. But curiosity has to be carried for a while in time and in my opinion that is the difference between a non scientist and a scientist. Most humans are curious at a given instant of time but they do not persist that long enough to solve. So curious which persists is essential for science.

Liqaa
I think the term "curiosity" is socially more than academic, so I prefer to replace it by another term "investigation" this term has a strong binding action with academic and scientific issue.
Now if we return again to the above question, all of us as a researchers know very well that the gained results of any scientific research are totally based on investigation, examination, checking, inspection, proposed assumptions considerations, ..etc, that surly explains and indicate the strong relation between science and such terms.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Many factors contribute to the success of doing science, more than 'curiosity'. There are other factors such as: 'patience', can stand long-hour working alone in the labs, using correct methods, with basic knowledge of the research.....etc. Also, availability of funds. Sometimes, we also need some lucks too, I guess.
