The limits of science

What phantasmagoria is this? The science festivity seems endless: From the big bang and the distant quasars to the unique nanomaterials and the marvelous DNA, social phenomena and intelligence, science seems to be an exciting language that can explain everything with certainty and – why not – with authority. But is that the case? Does our whole world and our lives fit in science? If not, what are the limits of science and how do they interact with the society, i.e. with all of us? If these questions are yours too, join our discussion.
