When the scientific principle first appeared, people had high hopes for it. At last, beyond a shadow of a doubt, there really was a way to unlock all the secrets of the universe. Hence, the idea arose that science would provide answers to all our questions about the world around us. However, it is time to find out how realistic these expectations are, especially today.
First of all, we must admit that our knowledge has indeed increased greatly. We now know so much that one person\’s brain cannot encompass all the knowledge. Therefore, scientists need to become more specialized. Of course, this would mean losing the opportunity to mentally connect the various disciplines, but with the amount of knowledge we have today, there is no other way.
At the same time, however, we must admit that the more we know, the more questions arise. This is especially true since the discovery of quantum mechanics, which is full of paradoxes. Despite all the technological and scientific advances, we have yet to solve them. The most famous is the paradox of light, which is both a wave and a particle. Light is both a wave and a particle. We don\’t know. We still don\’t know.
Indeed, to the layman, it may seem that we are moving further and further away from ultimate knowledge, rather than closer to it. But that is merely an appearance. Indeed, new discoveries bring new questions, which should not be underestimated. For example, 50 years ago, one would not have dreamed of a giant particle accelerator.
Of course, we cannot expect definitive answers anytime soon. But that does not mean we are not on the right track. So there is no need to dismiss science. After all, in recent years alone, science has made many very useful discoveries that have greatly improved our lives. And that is something we should not forget.
