Though we (humans :) ) at present move up on the rising slope of scientific exploration and achievement, I am intrigued to think about this question - 'Is science limiting itself, because of its very strength?'. Looking at it one way, I can say that science is based on 'Objectivity'.
And this 'objectivity' has proved to be the strength of science since "mankind's first day of science".
As we moved along, even to this very day, science has provided us with answers to various things. Objectivity has surely been the base for it.
Having said the above things, I think there is another very important area we humans are still ignorant about of its very possibility.
And that is - "Subjectivity" in relation to science. Or science in relation to 'subjectivity'.
Even today, there are many areas science is not able to provide answers to.
One of them being a very important aspect of me, you and every human being on this planet.
That is, "emotion".
Thinking on a new level of enquiry, I today stand at a position of question.
And that question is:
"Can there be a science based on subjectivity?"

I would agree with juilie's views in the next post. By definition, subjectivity cannot be used as an effective scientific tool.
It is true that science cannot explain human emotions satisfactorily, but same is the case with quantum gravity. That does not mean that we resort to subjectivity. Just because we have not found a solution or an answer yet does not mean that one does not exist. We just have to study more, experiment more and work more... all objectively
