And that doesn't make science irrelevant to many realms. It dosn't
make the paranormal true. Much of the paranormal is within the light
of science. Tele-kinetics, Tele-pathy are all quite testable. In a
couple of centuries, no set of studies indicate much validity to such.
Not that they won't some say. But haven't as of yet.
(And testing tele-kinetics doesn't require some sophisticed not-yet
existing measurement devices. The figgin thing moves or it doesn't. So
far, it has not.
