There is a difference between knowing an understanding. To know something means only that you recognize that it is. To understand something is to realize why it is.
AND CURSE YOU FCKM!!!!!
I was going to talk about how you can't know everything about something instantly because of quantum mechanics. Kudos to you.
I believe if people aquired understanding of the universe gradually, beyond the where petty human emotions such as pride to horde that knowledge or misuse disappear, then there wouldn't be a problem to searching for that infinite amount of knowledge. You'd always have something to do.
And who's to say that once you know enough you can't just accurately "guess" the next step, make sure it's true, and keep going. Optimistic but not happening within my life time (Unless Yakk brings up quantum immortality then YES I will live to see it, somewhere, maybe even here.
