Seriously though, that is total bullshit when people say we are reaching the limits of science. People have always said that. In 1899 the commisioner at the patent office said that everything had already been invented. Shows how much that logic works. Same thing with Newtonian physics for about 400 years, until Einstein came along. Of course there has to be a limit somewhere, but I'm sure we aren't even close.

I think the question of whether there are other universes or what started the big bang will someday be answerable. Everything leaves behind some evidence, we just need to know where and how to look.
Yeah, in the early last century. Most believed all science was discovered.


I believe in science, both macroscopic and microscopic, we are only beginning to find patterns. I think that quarks and electrons aren't necessarily fundamental particles, but that we will find another series of particles underneath there. Same thing with space. We had, earth, sun, galaxie. Now we think we know the size of the universe. BUt what if we are just part of a larger universe, which in itself is part of an even larger sustem, and so on.
