If science has limits, it is unlimited for humans !
Dear Anees
Science is not completed, it moves quickly with time. Good says what you have given from the science is little. Many problems on all the area need discovers and inventions. You should differentiate clearly between discoveries and inventions. Discoveries things is present and by effort you find it such as searching for oil or gold. While inventions means ideas or theories from the scratch. Both of them moves the life-cycle of the science for serving the humanity.
Good Luck

Dear Anees,
I dont think there is a limit for science.You never know what will you discover or invent until you do it. So the limit gets stretched. Until there are things unknown, the limit of science is not fixed.
Do you feel that the science is completed? Never
Do you think that every thing was discovered and invented? Never
Do you think that we just repeat the research in different conditions?sometimes
Yes there is a limit for science! The way we can understand and discover the world is due to possibilities of our senses that give us acces to the outer world. Our senses, our behaviour and by this our neuronal structures developed and changed by interaction with the needs to survive in a given environment. So, we don't see and understand the outer world objectively, we only see it the way that was necessary to survive in it. It follows that the sciences we developed are based on that evolutionary structures too. Of curse since around 1750 the sciences tried to emancipate the quality of scientific data from the fuzziness of our sense by instrumental measurment - but the interpretation of the data and the resulting theories and models are created through our thinking and follow the experiences that we have of the mesoscopic world in that we are living. So, does science have a limit? Yes, it is the limit of the evolutionary necessity of our thinking.
Philosopher Nicholas Rescher has written quite a bit about intrinsic limits to the scientific enterprise, although I can't say he convinced me...
Some of my reflections on the topic are part of this book from 2005:
Book Pragmatic Scepticism and the Possibilities of Knowledge
Yes, it's true, dear colleague. These are the fundamental sciences or basic sciences, on which they rely to a greater or lesser measure, all of sciences, the so-called applied sciences, as well as the development of research and so on
no, there is never a limit. even we know more than before, still I believe that we are at the same level of knowledge and discoveries from where we started. we prove many past believes and facts as wrong and may be in future today's best knowledge will be outdated and false. There can never be a limit as there are no levels.
In my opinion science is limited because there is something in the universe which is beyond the science. So whatever we discovered till now is the achievement of science. But we have to do research that what is beyond science.
The legend tells that a worker for the US Patent Office said once that there were no more patents to do because everything was already discovered...
Obviously he was wrong (just in case this story is true).
(1)The more we learn the better we understand enormity of still unknown or still not understood enough (if at all).. I do not see why to call it "something in the universe which is beyond the science" - if you propose to research it, it is an object of the Science.
(2) New technologies emerged or developed due to the development of Science put, in their turn, quite new and sometimes unexpected questions to be answered by it.
(3) New research techniques make the Science "see" objects to be investigated the very existence of was previously only presumed or even unsuspected.
Making Science is a process of trial and error (heuristic) using systematic and methodological procedures. Science has no commitment to absolute truth. Science is a process of rapprochement. Science seems to be the only way to try to understand the universe in which we operate. For religion it is all resolved and explained and science we are still far from the explanations. The other possibility would be the creator of the universe tell us is to explain everything. But, if it exists, it seems that their logic is that his creation seeks truth. If there is, for the truth can be changeable. João Luiz Calmon
Science, literaly means knowledge, has no end, no limit. It is a continuous path to tread by thinkers and researchers
Do you feel that the science is completed? No.
Do you think that every thing was discovered and invented? No.
Do you think that we just repeat the research in different conditions? Yes and no. I consider that, many times, we repeat the research in different conditions.
Is there a limit for science? Science has no limit, but, in general, its possibilities are limited.
Regards
Do you feel that the science is completed?
Definitely No.
Do you think that every thing was discovered and invented?
Not every thing until now.
Do you think that we just repeat the research in different conditions?
No.
Or you disagree with this ideas?
Yes.
Lord Kalvin gave the wrong answer many years ago when he said " with the invension of the radio we have reached the the limts of sicence we can not breach it any more"
I thnik there are too many goals we did not reach yet it calls us so we must be up to the challenge .
let's see what out there .
Do you feel that the science is completed?
Not at all. But such things have been said before. Take a look at this:
http://patentlyo.com/patent/2011/01/tracing-the-quote-everything-that-can-be-invented-has-been-invented.html
Do you think that every thing was discovered and invented?
Same basic question. Now, when we read about someone having made such claims in 1899, we can smile. They didn't even have powered flight, for heaven's sake, or electricity distribution systems.
Do you think that we just repeat the research in different conditions?
Not really. Study of gravity waves is not just repeating old research, for example, nor is studying samples collected from asteroids, Mars, and so on. Science is ultimately limited by what cannot be sensed and measured. But what can be sensed and measured keeps increasing. So there's no reason to arbitrarily make claims about its limits!
Dear Annees,
Science may be inspired or limited by political, religious and humal constraints, but I do not think that science is inherently limited by its very nature.
