The scientific method converges on the truth. But science need not.

If the foundational assumptions are wrong or impossible to challenge, time t can extend indefinitely. Additionally, it is surely possible that whole sections of science is waylaid and diverges from truth on account of funding, legislation, big personalities, etc.
