Limits of Science in Investigating Personal Relationships
Science cannot be the ultimate guide to truth in all matters because there are certain truths that are inaccessible to science. For instance, in personal relationships, it would be unwise to subject someone to scientific tests to determine their love. Such tests can disturb the very thing being observed and damage the affection. This limitation is also seen in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle on the subatomic level.
