*nod*, exponential growth runs into barriers.
But first whatever was growing exponentially gets big.
The old bit of math: if there are 1 trillion stars per galaxy and 1 trillion galaxies, and it takes a star system 1 million years, after being settled, to colonize another star system... It will take 80 million years to colonize the universe. This is riduculous, as relatively (speed of light barrier) gets in the way.
Life is star dust. But it is exponential star dust. Rarr.
This doesn't answer 'can we know everything', but it does remind people that 'just star dust' doesn't mean we are nothing.
