Limitation of Science

“Science does not know how we learn and remember, nor how we think and communicate, nor how the brain stores information, nor what the relationship between language and thought is. Science does not know how living cells interact with nonliving matter. It does not know what the origin of the universe is, nor how old the universe is, not what the ultimate fate of the universe will be."

[Charles M. Vest, professor, president of MIT, in the International Herald Tribune, January 16, 1996, p.8]
