We are capable of knowing it all.

Mere mortals knowing everything there is to know? What exactly does "everything" mean? What does it mean to "know" everything? Doesn't that assume there is one universal explanation of things? One that just happens to be something we can grasp?

Who said anything about mortals?

What does it mean to "know" everything? Doesn't that assume there is one universal explanation of things?

In a manner of speaking there is just one universal explanation of things, but it's not the 'answer' or the 'question'. It's the one who poses the question and observes the answer, that is the fundamental key to it all.

I'm not trying to be mysterious or obtuse here, but we're in an area where humanoid language begins to fail in trying to describe that which has no motion, no wavelength, no mass, and no location, yet which has the power to affect all life, form, energy, matter, space, etc.

Our bodies may be born of stardust, but not us. We came before.
