Jared Fry: Topic 7: Are There Limits to Science?

	I felt that group seven did a wonderful job in 
explaining the deep subject of limits in science.  
Though everyone has their own theories to this 
subject, I felt that group seven kept their 
presentation very neutral.  
	I too had my own opinion coming into this 
presentation, yet it was slightly changed by the 
groups deeper ideas.  I am curious though how someone 
can call science limited when not everything is 
known.  It is like saying that numbers are limited.  
The only true way you can test this is to start 
counting.  We just say that numbers go on to infinity 
because of logic, but we don’t really know for sure.  
I am not saying that science is limited, but I am 
definitely not saying it is.  How can we know 
everything about everything.  We would need to in 
order to say that science was limited.  It seems that 
you would be able to always find something to study.  
For instance, because it appears there is no limit to 
numbers, than isn’t it impossible for chemistry to 
never be limited.  You could mix substances in an 
infinite different number of ratios to get different 
effects.  You  truly wouldn’t know all of the effects 
until you tried them all.  But it is impossible to 
try them all because there are an infinite amount of 
possibilities.  We are coming up with our own 
elements now.  What is to stop us from making an 
infinite number of elements?  How are we to know if 
there are limits to this?
	Many of the groups analogies seemed very 
accurate, especially the one about the ray.  I a not 
sure if science is limited or not, although I feel it 
is less limited than not limited.  I also agree that 
there is some science that is not fully unlimited nor 
is it limited.  I do feel that it is possible for 
some science to be limited by certain factors and not 
others.  At this point, because there has been no 
great discoveries dealing with limitations, if it is 
ever possible to make discoveries on this topic, it 
is impossible to have an assertive or even persuasive 
discussion on this topic.
