If I may offer another interpretation of what you said re science.

I have found that science is absolutely in the business of discovering the absolute. But with the human condition comes great imperfection in our facilities and functions. In this foundation empiricism was created and refined.

So when I “see” light it is an absolute that it exists. Science has proven that much. But with each absolute science can prove via Empirical methodology, even more questions are created with the discovery of the absolute.

And that’s why I love science. Because it does discover absolutes whilst creating even more juicy questions for the insatiably curious to tackle.

Just food for thought😁
