Is there a limit to analysis?

How did we get here intellectually?
It was philosophy to begin with.

Right questions were the beginning.
But we never got the right answers, to begin with.
Lots of dogmas had to be insinuated.
But one dogma remained institutionalized.
That is the Church who had the authority to stifle the questioning.
The strictures had the upper hand in answering any question that was raised.
But strictures never revised its dogma or abandoned the God and His creative power.
Galileo, Copernicus, Darwin and many others had the observation power and analysis which gave way to scientific thinking.
The testing ability to test a hypothesis came much later.
Can the science answer all the questions?
From Newton to Einstein to Hawkins dabbled with Singularity to explain but we are yet to arrive at the final goal.
Are we stuck now?
I would use Buddha's approach here.
Buddhist way of life is to reach the ultimate goal or Nibbana.
It is like a boatman crossing a river.
Once one has reached the land he anchors the boat to the boathouse and carry on regardless.
He need not carry the boat on his shoulders.
We need to drop all philosophical dogmas to begin with.
Then the god and his creation dogma.
I think we need to drop the scientific dogma, too.
Not absolutely, but at least until we find a solution to Coranavirus, we need to keep some form of science in our arson or tools.
 

My belief is that science as we see it has limitations.
We gather data visually or instrumentally.
Instruments at least visual are limited by the speed of light.
We are still unable to beat the light barrier, as with sound barrier.
New Science would emerge once the Light Barrier is broken.
Then dark matter and dark energy will be at our dispensation.
Beating the dark energy barrier should be our next target.
But we must beat the light barrier to begin with.
The light dogma is next to be left at the boat house.
