An early Fringe episode has a line implying that science is causing a breakdown of reality, which is an oddly anti-science statement for a sci-fi show

I have decided that the only way this makes sense is that the universe of Fringe exists in a reality that is subjective rather than objective. Possibly it's a consequence of two parallel realities bumping into each other

So the reason the statement can be true without being anti-science is that as people grow in their understanding of how the universe works, they have greater capacity to disrupt it

The mad science in the show doesn't work because of any objective laws, it essentially works because the people carrying it out believe it works

They accidentally (in some cases, as a result of literal madness) bend reality to their will. It's Clarke's Law in reverse: a sufficiently advanced form of magic has become indistinguishable from technology
