i highly doubt that scientific inquiry will ever come to an end...if i recall correctly, in the period after newtonian physics and prior to that of relativity / quantum etc - the feeling was that the universe was just a big set of billiard balls. all the basic fundamental relationships were known, and the rest was just fleshing it out....then whoops!: there's all this other stuff to consider. if scientific inquiry can give us increasingly sophisticated concepts to explain how the universe operates, it seems to have very little to say about what the universe fundamentally is or why it is here. i do not think those types of inquiries are purely in the realm of 'science.' furthermore, all the 'hows' of our scientific explanations don't really tell us 'how it works...,' they only give us a consistent set of relationships that allow us to categorize and predict future events....that doesn't mean any of it is 'true'. at least, that's how it seems to me.
