End point is this: If everything in this universe is caused by the interactions between the most basic objects in the universe and are goverened by a set of laws, then once we discover these rules, what is left to discover?[/QUOTE]

that somethings you discovered could be wrong.

I think that the bounds of knowledge are already beyond the comprehension of any one person...Consider the paradox of knowledge.....

Imagine the total body of knowledge as a circle....The larger the body of knowledge the larger the border of the unknown.

I suppose there was a time in history when one man could know everything there was to know , but I can't be expected to do everything

Reaching for ultimate knowledge is like sailing for the horizon. We can travel in that direction indefinitely.

Self-knowledge is where it's at, as far as I'm concerned.

just because what there is to know is infinite in scope, that doesn't necessarily mean we will keep on discovering.
