Will science come to an end?

WE LIVE in an era of tremendous advances of science and technology, and almost every month brings some exciting new development. The progress of scientific research is accelerating from year to year, and the number of persons involved in scientific inquiry increases correspondingly. Our big telescopes search into the far corners of the stellar universe, bringing us invaluable information about its present and its past. Our giant multibillion-volt atom smashers help us solve the secrets of the elementary particles from which all material bodies are made, and advanced methods of modern biological studies bring us to the verge of solving the mystery of all mysteries: the nature of life.
