"...logic and rational argument rather than hypothesis and experiment."
I don't think these can be separated. Philosophy. Science. Philosophy of Science. Zeno's Paradox. Fermi Paradox. How many times can we split the atom before we get to non-matter? How many universes does it take to get one with a life form that can invent a time machine?
We are further away from a unified, scientifically testable theory of everything than we've ever been. We used to look into the microscope and the telescope and think we were entering the secular, godless Age of Enlightenment. Now we are spinning our wheels, bogged in the Age of Uncertainty. Baconian principles. LOL.
