Science is the application of strict procedures to quantify (observe and measure) all manner of events such as physical forces, human behavior, chemical reactions and biological processes. Hence, science is unable to answer questions where the subject matter cannot be quantified - but even those questions are eventually answered as methods are invented to observe and measure the subject matter.

In its short history, science was once unable to answer questions such as: "what is the wind?" - thought to be the breath of gods until the measurement of matter was developed.

So, although science cannot yet answer many lingering questions about ourselves and our world, it is only because we have yet to invent a way of observing the subject matter - and not because certain questions are "unanswerable" or "unknowable".

What kind of questions can’t science answer?

Science can’t answer questions that go beyond the empirical or measurable, such as how many stars are in the universe with absolute certainty. While science can estimate the number of stars, the vastness and ever expanding nature of the universe make it impossible to count them all. Similarly, science struggles with questions about the origin of consciousness, the purpose of existence, or the true nature of infinity.
