Science - the Philosophical Escape Pod of Meaninglessness?

If you could theorize about the premise that *ultimately* life seems
to philosophically meaninglessness:

Could we science our way out of this position?

Perhaps we'll make contact with a friendly alien of greater
intelligence and make that our god giving meaning.

Survival would seem to be the order of the day and sciences are the
tools.

Ok i answered my own question. Yes.

Science=meaning.

Try this :
"Science" asserts in many theories that "higher" dimensions
are manifest, but we only sense what we can.
Within those sense constraints meaninglessness is apparent.
But the unsensed "higher" dimensions may well tell
differently.
BTW, much resources/money is at present in searches
for science measurements of those "higher" dimensions.
Stay tuned!

The sun does not care about right and wrong. OK. You may however.

*Ultimately* life is meaning. Finding it or not, while you are living it,
is beside this *ultimate* point.

Science is just well-established, conventional knowledge. Stuff
that's useful, and proven. At least, that's what real science is.
I'm not talking about Global Warming speculation or 99%% of the
research currently done in Universities, which is just bureaucratic
hand-waving for cash. Newton's Laws, Maxwell's electromagnetic
equations, Darwins "Origin of the Species", Aristotle's Logic help us
to understand the world. And to function within it.
