down to a science

[unpakwon]

Please make the following in red clear for me.

In fact, when it comes to predicting technological trends, we've gotten it almost down to a science. And perhaps no one is better at this science than Ray Kurzweil.

Is this saying "we can now predict future technological trends based on science"? "Predicting technological trends has become almost a science"?

Thank you.
