It's what's meant by "truth doesn't exist". Because it doesn't exist with infinite precision, though they are plenty of times where there's good answers. In our modern world I think one of the big challenges is that we've advanced enough that low order approximations are no longer good enough. It should make sense, as we get better we need more complex models. We need to account for more. In many optimization problems there are no global solutions. This isn't because we lack good enough models, it's just how things are. And the environment is constantly changing, the targets moving. So the complexity will always exist. There's beauty in that, because what fun is a game when you beat it? With a universe like this, there's always a new level ahead of us.
