Apparently knowledge = math.
Having had way too much exposure to sociology, I tend to think of knowledge as relative. Throughout history, knowledge, especially about the environment, has changed, and will continue to change.
As I recall from highschool chemistry, the atomic structure I was taught (and this wasn't too long ago) wasn't correct, it was just easier to comprehend.
I would offer that there may be an infinite number (or at least multiples) of ways to interpret information. Add that to the continuously growing field of information, and knowledge is most certainly infinite, or at the very least, we don't have enough time to reach the finality of knowledge. Unless, of course, matter is finite and time/human existence is infinite.
I am talking out of my ass. I think.
