It is simply the way science works , there is never an ultimate truth ,that is only to be found in religion , science just constantly strives for better models .


If there is ‘never an ultimate truth’ then there is really no difference between science and pseudoscience – in so much as both are mutable. Meanwhile, why not move the goalposts? Keeping them in one place merely restricts the game to a narrow set of rules, which we might find ‘comfortable’ in the short-term, but which might also restrict us from seeing ‘different types of meaning’ in the long-term.


There is no ultimate truth for science ,but that is not how it is for pseudoscience ,which like religion does have access to the truth , although they can't prove it . They never change ,unless science points out a flaw , whilst science is constantly in flux
