I'm talking about big, world-view changing science. All the big principles are there. Evolution. Lawfulness of nature, etc.
As I see it, there are three kinds of Science left:
a) Applied science - putting the principles to work in new technology. Like understanding of biology --> medicine or physics --> engine development.
b) Detailed science - working out details of well established theoretical frameworks, like finding the nth new particle in high energy physics...
c) Pseudoscience - working on stuff that is pratically untestable, such as string theory where no one seriously believes we will ever achieve energy levels to test theoretical predictions.
If not, what is left to be done?
