I have to say i dont share your perspective, as we have quite emphatically concluded. But as you say, its all relative. Eternal life? A cure for AIDS? The hunt for zero energy? Darkmatter? Higgs Boson? With these discoveries is even more possibility for progression. Its my perspective that we have only taken a tiny chunk off the top of quite a huge ice berg thus far in scientific progress, thus i think progression is all but limitless.
