At some point in the future will we know everything there is to know about everything?

Question

At some point in the future will we know everything there is to know about everything?

Answer 1

No, never... we can't understand what we are and see now.

Answer 2

most people will answer yes or no.

im taking it deeper!!

we will never know what EVERYTHING is so theres no way we can know everything about everything. ]

Answer 3

No it's impossible to know everything.

Answer 4

Relativity is a rotten b**ch. She will not enable the arrival of all information simultaneously.

Answer 5

no, because there will always be something that will be newly discovered and cannot be explained.  There will always be stillborn babies, and rape, and murder.  That is human nature and even as the world grows older, we will always be human and will always be prey to human nature.

If we know everything then we most certainly know nothing.  There is a difference between knowing and understanding.  We may know the murder is horrible and wrong, yet we will never understand the specific cases and the motives behind them.  I was going to say something else but I forgot.  See, I no longer know that tidbit of information.

Answer 6

no - once we 'know everything about everything', we can't possibly know what it is not to know something, or to be 'ignorant', therefore we will once again not, infact, know everything

Answer 7

The history of human knowledge has shown us that every new bit  raises more questions than it answers - isn't something like Y!A proof of that? So knowledge will remain for ever infinite and expanding - like the Universe...

Answer 8

Impossible to know everything precisely.

For instance, to precisely measure where an atom is, you'd have to use some sort of measuring device, and the device's gravity would alter the atom's position.  So while you could measure where it *is*, you could never find out exactly where it *was* at the moment you decided you wanted to measure it.

Answer 9

i honestly don't think so.

yes humans are very smart and are known to explore new things everyday but there is just so much to learn you can't possibly know EVERYTHING. only god noes everything about everything.

Answer 10

Not during my lifetime, so even if eventually people can learn everything there is to know, it won't do me a bit of good.

Answer 11

That would require us to know that we know everything about everything, which we can't know.

Also, we don't know if we can know everything there is to know about everything, so we can't logically know everything.

Answer 12

no, that is impossible, many laws of physics imply it can't be done.

for example it is impossible for a human being to know anything about something that is 30 000 light years away, because nothing can travel faster than light, so even light can only make the trip in 30 000 years. a human's life span is much shorter than that, even if it wasn't, there is no way to send information instantly to you who is 30 000 light years away about that thing without waiting 30 000 years and by then things there would be different.

Answer 13

No, 100 years from now someone could be saying great! we now know everything about everything

But how would the person know theres more to know? hmmm

Answer 14

No because humans are dieing off as new things are being created to learn.

the universe is expanding, our existance is nearly nothing compared to it.

Answer 15

no

Answer 16

A simple run of the mind along the sequence of natural numbers would be sufficient to know that the greatest of all numbers cannot be found ever, and infinite is just an illusion in the mind, placed just as much farther from the number one as it is from the number two, or two million. The fact is that infinity is not even on the number line, i.e. it is not the greatest, or for that matter the smallest of all amounts or qualities. It is just an empty illusion however none existence in reality, present in the mind. The same aspect of our mind that mathematician denote by infinity is expressive in your questions.

What is everything? It is an illusion. There is nothing as everything. It is, quite literally. Therefore everything is nothing, and so to know everything about everything is same as knowing nothing about nothing, but if there is nothing to know nothing then the need to know does not exist either.

All one needs to know that there is two, and two is in fact one added to itself. There is only two in existence: the one observer and the other the observed, the one that is and the one that realised that it is. I, for instance, am never one, but two, me and my thoughts of the mirror, of the world, all around me caused in me by my observing, letting me know that I am, my realisation of myself.

Then what is the world is what we need to know. The world is not everything, but it is just another one. If I comprehend this then I see that I can know what you may call ‘everything’ as something that directly related to me, my mirror image. If you know yourself you know it all, and the best way to know yourself is to observe the world around you the way you would like to be observed yourself, with regard, respect, admiration and intrigue.

Answer 17

if we deserve to aquire such knowledge, we will know. if we r not suitable 4 such a standard then we will not know everything. People have different minds of different capabilities, not all of them can stand the power of real knowldge, they go mad or do not beleive.

Answer 18

I doubt it. For if that was the case, we may well never have discovered surgery/penicillin/vaccinations etc.

No one person can say that they know everything. It is simply impossible in my humble opinion.

It is a part of life's rich pattern that we learn and grow and change on a constant basis.

Answer 19

i dont hink so...

well atleast not wile we are alive???

i think you have to be a leggend for that to ever be possible.

Answer 20

Very unlikely.  There is always more to learn, more to discover.  But someday we may know everything we need to know, and that is a different story altogether.

Answer 21

nope cos the number of 'facts' is not finite, but ever growing

Answer 22

Not unless the Creator of the universe reveals everything to us.  Everything is in constant motion and ever changing.

Answer 23

Not every human being, some will learn more about life.  If everyone knew everything there was to know the purpose of existence would no longer exist.  Everyone has a certain amount of knowledge and wisdom and through any incarnations people learn more.  Life is not simply about knowledge and the physical there is also a mystical spiritual side which is where true knowledge lies.

Answer 24

If we do then I think it will be a very very very long time before we get there

Dont forget that Dark Matter accounts for around 80% of the universe and yet nobody  knows   a d**n thing about it apart from that its there

And for the remaining  20%  we probably  know  about 0.0000000000000001%   of what there is know

So i wouldn't worry about it happening in your lifetime
