Everyone knows that science has been proven wrong time and again, but
why do you think that is? My opinion is because science works with
assumptions that depend on previous knowledge. So its easy to build
from the start and get something more complex. As mathematicians know
though, complexity leads to total chaos. Say for example you were
working with electronics and found that resisters limited current.

a capacitor. Then from there someone discovered that electricity
could actually be amplified with a transformer, to create higher
voltages.

Amazing, but then we get so complicated that we forget the source of
the invention is actually a battery, and we have limited supplies of
batteries. Then after that we come to find out batteries don't even
work correctly without wires, and we find out there is limited
supplies of superconducting gold. Finally we realize that we can't
transmit the power without an electric grid, stretching across the
whole country. Then in all the confusion we start to have blackouts
everywhere, when we should have enough energy to supply everyone.

No. We know quite a lot, though not everything, and live in a sea of
technology that quite a few people understand - obviously, not you.
Again, nobody has mastered every human technology, nor even every
aspect of any givien technology, but if you ask nicely, in the right
forum, you can almost always get good advice.

Right off the bat, you've revealed how little you know about the
subject you're trying to discuss. Two fundamental problems
in the above:

1. Statement that begin with "everyone knows" almost
always winds up talking about something that "everyone"
MISUNDERSTANDS. This is a perfect example.

2. "Science" has not been "proven wrong time and time
again," for the simple reason that science itself is not a body
of knowledge, nor any particular collection of "facts."
Science is a PROCESS which we use to sort out truth
from a lot of things that we might like to think were so, but
which really aren't. As that sort of tool, it has a track record
far better than any alternative that mankind has attempted to
use so far.
