      The human brain may not be able to hold an infinite amount of information, so it may never be possible to know everything. One of the things in life is you never know what you do not know you do not know.

      I don’t think so. Every time we find something out, it seems to produce more questions. Remember when you were really little and you kept saying, “Why?” every time your parents answered a question? That’s basically what science does, all the time.

      Eventually my brain will fill up. I think it’s already happened though….
      …what was I saying? 😀
      Oh yeah, I have a very good memory and I’m very inquisitive so I always want to know more.
      As for us as a species, I don’t think we will ever have the answers to everything there is always something to explore and understand.
