And so too "science" -- that "science" exactly as you defined. Institutionalized science is the modern version of the Medeival High Church of Rome. It may well fall -- as you called it!
Will it -- in its lengthly throes of death -- parallel the Church's decline? Will we have an Inquisition? Are we having one?
Science will end except for a few dilletantes and philosophers once we move off-planet and the State loses its stranglehold on individuals.
