Why does this b@#@( phone have the erase and enter key next to each other?

As I was Saying: true, but that is a bit different. I will have one more bash and then leave it. There are lots of things we know don't exist, such as ten euclidean solids. It doesn't matter how long we search we won't find one. We can definitely prove there are no more. There are a number of unsolved mathematical problems where we don't know whether a solution is feasible or not. And they may have no solution. I just admit the possibility that there might be analogies in the real world that are inherently beyond the scientific method however long we look. There may be none. There may be lots we just haven't spotted because we imagine they will yield to a little more of the same method we are using.

None of which says we should devalue the scientific method.
