And perpetual motions machines will still never work.
Don't be so quick to generalise against the whole of science because some of it is a bit airy-fairy. There is a LOT of good science and engineering out there that both a) underpins your quality of life, and b) advances the situation for humanity.
Don't get so sucked into the myth of the lone wolf battling the establishment - because 9 times out of 10 that lone wolf is trying to argue he can step off a cliff with no help because 'gravity is a global conspiracy'.

The Americans have this weird 'morality' where it is moral and good to own a gun and allow the deaths of loads of small children and other non-gun owners, but try to spend money on 'gambling' (other than the stock market) is going to destroy the fabric of the nation. Twisted Puritanism at its worse, and probably one reason we got rid of a bunch of useless colonies with delusions of religiosity ;)
