Alethea Smith: Topic 7: Are There Limits to Science?

	
	I find it hard to believe that there will ever be 
an end to science.  I think that  yes- it could be 
possible.  But, I think that our sun will die and 
kill us all before that happens.
	I think that Biology alone could last the earth 
for the rest of life as we know it.   I did a 
research internship my freshman year about the food 
and habitat selection of the eastern grey squirrel 
and red squirrel.  For research I also looked up over 
60 articles about it.  This was in regards to the 
common squirrel.  And, There are still hundreds of 
projects and questions which could be worked on.
	If you start with this and then consider how many 
plant and animal species we know about, and then add 
in all of the species we don't even know about yet, 
the result is frightening.  There are countless 
numbers of thesises out there waiting to be written.  
Human are never going to know everything.
	The question of science being finite or not does 
not matter to me.  If there is an end to science we 
will never see it.  Because we can not comprehend 
that anything so swell as gravity will ever be 
conceptualized again, does not mean that it can not- 
nor does it mean that there will not be a few 
squirrels around to study.
