Let me edit that in a way that i hope is illustrative.

No idea is self contained- every theory has elements of the unknown in it. That doesn't make a theory inaccurate or invalid. And, i'm sorry will, but i don't think that you're in a position to comment on the impending abandonment of heisenberg.

So tell me what your evidence is for your belief that science can explain everything that's real.
