Has science reached its peak?
-
I'll start by saying, I not well versed in any branch of the sciences. Nonetheless, I've concluded that scientific knowledge is limited to the technological abilities available to each generation. As technology increases, new theories and discoveries appear. In turn, many old theories are disproved and new light is shed on past discoveries. Every generation claims its theories and discoveries provide irrefutable explanations, only to have the next generation disprove them or greatly expand on them. I don't think science will ever reach its peak, because man does not have the capacity to develop all encompassing scientific technology. There will always be things we cannot explain and there will always be things in existence that we will never even know exist.
Humbly,
Brian

Science will never end, as long as there is a universe to be understood, and humans to do the understanding.
Physics ending in 20 years is a pipe dream.
