I'm quite sure that there is a lot going on that we haven't figured out yet. Key word: "yet".
Isn't there some proof that it's impossible to fully explain a system (e.g. the universe) from within?
- puredemo 17y agoWhat sorts of things do you think might be going on that we don't understand yet?
- billswift 17y agoThere is a clear inconsistency between general relativity and quantum mechanics; reconciling them is one of the things superstring theory has been attempting, so far with limited success.
- varjag 17y agoUsually that refers to Goedel incompleteness theorem and its corollaries. It concerns however only with possibility of certain proofs in a particular class of formal systems (e.g. predicate logics of various orders). It is beyond my humble skills to suggest if the necessary formal description of the Universe would be complex enough for the incompleteness theorem to kick in or not. But bear in mind that explaining is not the same as proving. For instance, that the God created everything is a flawless explanation (although lacking in predictive strength to be of any use in sciences).
