what kind of questions can a scientific experiment can and cannot answer
Science cannot answer questions that do not deal with the physical universe. Whether or not science can answer a particular question depends on the means and availability of good physical evidence. Source(s): I am a biologist.
Science can not answer questions about what is good and bad because they can not be answered by observations and inference. Scientific tools can be used to improve consistency of a value-system, or infer values from value axioms however. It can also show that a model of the world is inconsistent with observations.
