Will scientists ever find the connection between the physical and metaphysical?

I have nearly finished reading Lisa Randall's book "Warped Passages". It's a good book but I have to admit largely over my head. There was a statement in the liner that I found very interesting. I would like to add to the last sentence."Will we all soon have to accept explanations that previously remained in the realm of science fiction or the metaphysical?"Gerald Shroeder in his book "The Hidden Face of God" connects science with the metaphysical by claiming amongst other things, as I understand him, that what is actually basic to the universe is particles of information. His thinking is obviously esoteric, but will it ever go beyond that?There are others such as Alister McGrath of Oxford who has written "The Science of God", who are trying to connect the physical and the metaphysical.Frankly I don't have sufficient knowledge to do anything much more than ask the question but I am interested in hearing the people's opinions that are based on more than their theology. (I recognize of course that if one believes that the metaphysical doesn't exist they aren't about to believe that science will ever encounter it. )The question then is; it possible for scientific research to ever knowingly encounter the metaphysical?I suggest "Is it science?"Edited by GDR, : To suggest a forum
