Why science is failing.

Why?  It is very simple, no matter how complicated the math, no matter how sure the observed, no matter how solid the physics, science isn't about proving, it's more about the opposite.  Too much of science has invested itself into engineering.  Engineering is based on what is known, calculable, doable, not why or how or such.  A good scientist will look for why not, and keep that as his premise.  There are shelves upon which to set things.  This, is true, for these variables, as far as we know, for example.  The next step is to find where that doesn't work, not to then suggest that it must therefore be the truth.  Lazy, corrupt, ignorant, coddled.  Science is the cold hard fact that no matter how much we know, we are still wrong.  But that, like science's mother faith, is too hard.  Even that, which is much less than faith, is too hard for too many, in their own field.  So... they go with the easy, with the candy, with the junk food.  And it shows to those of us who know both child and parent.
