You're referring to the theory of gravity now, not law of gravity. Law is pretty much the statement of fact or observation, theory is the explanation of that statement. You're also pulling a variation of the God of the Gaps fallacy by implying that what we don't know could be the solution.

Regardless, your assertion that there are things we can't know is very accurate. But the assertion that the unknowable changes the knowable is false. And that, I think, is the crux. No matter what is going on in other dimensions or the Brane-verse, none of that could or would change our empirical observation of our world. If there was reliability to something like intuition, it would be empirically detectable. If there is a god-thing out there doing something we don't understand, it doesn't affect our physical universe unless it affects our physical universe, and then it's detectable

There is confusion in that people generally believe in metaphysics and supernatural stuff. Let's be clear, there has never been in all of recorded research any evidence of anything non-physical. Even the thought that there could be non-physical-ness is itself physical

I just wikied Hitler and you're right he seems to have been motivated to commit genocide by religious ideas, my bad. religion definitely has been responsible for more violence and negativity in the world than science, but it's fair to say scientific philosphy hasn't been around as long or 'developed' for as much time as religion has.
I'd say you're referring to technology, not science. Philosophy of science is extremely developed, and will never change beyond the slightest of tweaks. And I actually believe that technology will eventually become infinitely more evil than any other thing in biological history. There will come a day when technology is so great that virtual sensory consciousnesses can be placed in perpetual torture.
