Max Planck, the father of quantum mechanics, wrote:

We are approaching the end of science. “The end of
science” does not mean the end of “unresting endeavour
and continually progressing development” of more and
more comprehensive and useful physical theories. The “end
of science” means the coming of Western civilization, in its
own time and in its own way, into the higher dimensions of
human experience.
