Is Science Nearing Its Limits?

Just posted on the web today is a paper from a talk given at a conference last year entitled “Is Science Nearing Its Limits?” The speaker, a French scientist, notes that this question has arisen before, but for very different reasons.
The previous questionings assumed that science was near its limits because of its apparent triumphal success… The present questioning assumes, on the contrary, that science could be near its limits because of its dismal failure.
