Tom Kirkpatrick: Topic 7: Are There Limits to Science?

The group did a respectable job in presenting their 
topic although at times I found it a bit slow.  The 
old addage of "keep it simple" always applies to 
presentations although I know it's difficult to edit 
out all the great material you discover during your 
research of the topic.  There were times where your 
presenters were putting out relevent material but it 
tended to drag a bit and once you've caused an 
audiences atttnetion to wander its tough to ge it 
back. Spice it up!!
My view on whether or not there are limits to science 
is no!  Science is limitless.  Even though we can 
think that we have discovered the smallest particle 
or the furthest point in the cosmos or unraveled the 
greatest mystery there is always a greater challenge 
just over the horizon.  I think it is very 
precoscious of us if we believe our current science 
is the end all be all of discovery and exploration.  
As many things as we can think of that we feel we 
have mastered one could easily think of many many 
more that lie still untouched.
Additionally, all of the accepted scientific 
foundations could eadily be proven to be incorrect 
and an entirely new dimension to science would 
quickly form.  What if tomorrow some genius discovers 
that all of Newton's laws are fundamentally flawed 
and a search for a new set of rules msut be 
initiated.  The possibilities are endless.  Just look 
at how many species lie undiscovered right here in 
earth's oceans.  Now consider that the universe is 
infinite and wonder how long it may take to explore 
all of the universe's planets and oceans.  Endless I 
say.......!
