At least what we currently spend most of time studying/researching in physics right now. We can hope to expand beyond that given enough time.

- outworlder 3y agoThere are even (ever shrinking) limits on how much of the universe we can observe.
- kulahan 3y agoPull the levers and see what happens, and then write it down. That's really all we can do.
- davorak 3y agoI agree we practically may never know and fundamentally the rules of the universe might end up making it impossible to know somethings, but as far as I know the ultimate limits are currently unknown so 'We can hope ...'.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoIt's kind of cool to think that some idea that someone has at some point in the timeline of consciousness might be true; but impossible to prove.
