The Limits of Science

It must have limits. Here's my proof. And you'll have to admit, this is pretty rock-solid proof.
  • Think of the original "Star Trek" series
  • Think of the voice over at the beginning of each episode. It was none other than William Shatner, also known as Captain Kirk
  • Captain Kirk proved never wrong ... every episode he was vindicated
  • Captain Kirk said, "Space ... the final frontier."
  • "Final" is a word that suggests limits
  • "Space" is all about science
  • Remember, Captain Kirk is never wrong

Ergo ... space ("science") has a final ("limited") frontier.

Factor out "space," "has," "a," "final," and "frontier" and substitue in the word "is."

There you have it: "Science is limited."

Refute that, science boy! :-)
