With regards to the thread title:

Conjecture: The very beginning of the quest for knowledge. This is when you know what you’d like to accomplish, but you have no idea if it is even possible.

Speculation: When you have learned enough to know what you do know, and know what you don’t toward solving the problem.

Science: The level when you have learned how nature works. You now know if something can be done and what it will involve.

Technology: The level when you can begin to engineer and build working devices to apply those laws of nature to answer your goal.

Application: The final state when the technology is good enough to be put to common use. Cars, airplanes, microwave ovens are all in this category.
