Are there any questions that are beyond the realm of scientific enquiry?

As the title says - are there any questions Science CANNOT explain??

What, and why? I can't really think of much... afterall, it pretty much poos all over god.

There are certain things beyond perfect inquiry by modern science, for example, the processes of the mind are extremely difficult to analyze.

It's easy to think of stuff that hasn't been figured out, but coming up with stuff that couldn't is much harder.

The process of LIFE, the complexity of the human body, our emotions...

Somehow science could not recreate life from mere molecules, nor can it explain how and what makes the body function the way it does.

Here's a video the proves that science has its flaws:

YouTube video

Well... I don't see how that video proves anything. Though I understand it was a joke to post the video, it makes me wonder about your earlier post as well.

Let's just say I hold a stance in-between religion and science 😉

Actually we've figured out emotions and how the body works.

Alright, then. Tell me with multiple studies that prove, inexorably, how Testosterone causes muscle hypertrophy.

No?

K, then this one should be easy:

Tell me how a neuron stores and retrieves memories.

No?

K.

Let's go with something more real then...

How about this one:

Why is light attracted by the weak force, despite having no mass?

No?

K.

In other words, there are some things we don't yet understand.

GOD.

I'm not a biologist but I am aware of a great deal of research showing clear ties between specific chemicals and emotions/behaviors.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that we have a functional understanding of emotions and how the body works.

The attraction of light to the weak force is relevant to our understanding of human biology?

Ridiculous, between you and I we ought to know everything.

Let's start:
Paris is the capital of France.

Now you.

It's not, but it is certainly relevant to the thread, which is why I made a transitional statement that read:

313

Also, it was a trick question. 313 313

The Weak Force can't lift no nucelar exchange particles! It's a WIMP!
313 I SWEAR TO JEEEBUS! I've got your 10^13 strength RIGHT HERE!

WIMPs? You talking about WIMPs?

No no no, man, being MACHO is where it is at.

Clever. 😄

Yes. For example: why does the universe have the laws of physics that it currently has? Also, What is inside of a black hole. And, what happens when the universe is old and cold enough to reach absolute zero.

I don't see why we couldn't come up with a reasonable conclusion about that.

Nothing can ever be at absolute zero.

They can´t explain ANYTHING, for all they know life could be one illusion matrix type place.

Indeed, why is why we don't have to worry about the universe ever getting to absolute zero. Physicist have mathematically studied what would happen going all the way back to Lord Kelvin which means that absolute zero is not beyond scientific inquiry.

"I refute it thus," said Samuel Johnson and kicked Berkeley in the testicles.

Are we talking about theory or fact? Science can theorize about a lot of things that can never be proven.
