However, since at the beginning of the century, Einstein's theory of relativity broke Newton's absolute space-time view, the scientific myth just became the bubble day after day, many scientists, the philosopher had the different limits to the science, but the scientific pessimism directly the energy crisis, the environmental pollution, the ecology unbalanced and so on imputes to the science. Why through several centuries scientifically the practices, today suffers a disastrous decline unexpectedly from absolute truth's status, reduces to places on a par with the religion and the myth, an important reason is the scientific essence of alienation.
