I think there are a lot of major, groundbreaking discoveries ahead of us in fields like biology and applied physics. I think it's plausible that we may be able to cure aging in our lifetimes. I think that we're going to see breakthrough discoveries in socioeconomics and anthropology too.
With that said, you can only discover electrons once. The last new particle discovered was the Higgs Boson, and what are the practical applications of the Higgs? Nothing compared with the practical applications of the electron.
So, waning? Probably not, at least, not yet. But, we are getting out into the branches of science and not working on the roots anymore.
