I’m curious what your take is on the finite nature of Science. I imagine the fractal “edge” will always remain illusive, but when do we hit 98% or 99.999% documented confirmed, distilled, and well explained? (Centuries? Millennia?) When does it become an engineering corpus?
(thinking of SciFi futurism as a much needed pick-me-up rn, please be kind)
Once we determine if the universe is infinite or not we’ll know more about what to expect.
If it’s finite then we’ll have a stopping point. If it’s not then there’ll be no stopping point.
Assuming a finite universe then I’d wager we’ll know all that can be known in about 10^23 years.
