Science is incapable of supplying answers to ultimate questi

Summary

This quote highlights the limitations of science in addressing existential questions related to the purpose and existence of things. While science excels at exploring the natural world, it is unable to provide conclusive responses to inquiries about the meaning and ultimate origins of life or the universe. These philosophical and metaphysical inquiries often go beyond the scope of scientific methods and require different approaches such as philosophy, theology, or personal belief systems. Science, as a systematic study of the physical world, has its boundaries when it comes to addressing existential queries.
