About as far-reaching as expecting people to spell correctly.

What exactly are the limits of empiricle [sic] study?

I don't have an authoritative answer. But a quick response is that when there's no data, there's no possibility of any progress.

Your senses are the limits of empirical study. What you can see, taste, smell, hear or feel or can find evidence that you can see, taste, smell, hear or feel constitutes impirical analysis. We use many tools to help us use our senses; microscopes, telescopes, et al.

Dictionary definition of empirical (yes, I've been spelling it wrong): Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment.
