I agree to an extent. I think science is a good for studying the natural world and we should thoroughly study what is around us... studying what we can't see and is intangible, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter... literally. You have to believe that there is nothing beyond what we can see and study to think that this is all there is to it... that's up to each person to decide, and you shouldn't worry about what other people tell you to 'think' about it.
Curiosity and pondering, both directions, is good for the brain and our society's advancement on many levels. We are all fundamentally the same in that we know less than we think we know, so I think that thought is also very humbling and I agree....So in that way I think, patience is a virtue, not a right.
EDIT: BTW, I understand your point about the Sun, but a little differently. I think there will be some point in time, going forward, that if we just kept advancing our knowledge scientifically say towards the limit of total understanding, that we will eventually hit a cliff... for example, we may need to have components to study something that cannot be studied, not possible. So even Science... could have it's limits. Curiosity does not.
