lack of landmark masters actually is a worldwide problem.  Those solvable physics problems,  and even those social ones,  are more and  more like  technic applications that need only conceived skill rather than profound new thoughts.   Those remained problems theoretically are already beyond the scope of science and human's ability as well.

Therefor if there will be masters or not  is not important,  what's important is that  if people's thought can go any further.   have our thought shriveled?  or have we reached our limits that preset in our gene?  Many people turn to  the oriental philosophy and hope that could provide some hints or path to the mysteries which western philosophy could not explain well.  Some even hope to integrate both  oriental philosophy  and western philosophy .  As Where is the way out .   We may only pray to God.
