Do you think that scientists will ever figure out a theory that tells everything there is to know in each?

Subject. Not only Science but language and math and Social Studies.I think with the scientists we have now we could someday figure out everything there is to know.Do you think that scientists will ever figure out a theory that tells everything there is to know in each?
I don't like to put a cap on possibilities. It's nice to keep all doors open, but a theory like that would be pretty incredible. So short answer: not in our life time.





To quote Stephen Hawking,


';However, if we discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable by everyone, not just by a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God.';Do you think that scientists will ever figure out a theory that tells everything there is to know in each?
I think it's important I clarify my stance. I think that a master theory like this (if ever achievable) is going to be out of our grasp for thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years, if we're even able to survive that long. Because for as much as we know, we sure don't know much. Report Abuse

While science is the best way to understand the universe, there are some things which appear to be forever removed from investigation. The interior of a black hole, for example. Another example is this: The smaller the particle, the more energy you need in order to investigate it. Atoms, neutrons, protons, electrons, positrons, quarks, etc., each one takes more energy to probe its secrets. Eventually we will reach a limit based simply on the available power.





So, no, there is no way we will ever know everything.
No, because even if we knew everything of the fundamentals with systems built on top of those new problems emerge. For instance, even if you knew everything there was to know about transistors you could not explain the operation of a Pentium microprocessor, or how software running on it works, even those these are ultimately nothing more than consequences of how a transistor works.
no.





kurt g枚del proved, years ago, that no logical system can be closed in the sense you describe. it is always possible to create hypotheses that cannot be proven or disproven within any particular logical system.
No.





I think that was established about sixty or seventy years ago in logic theory. (e.g., Universal Turing Machine)

There will never be a day where everything is figured out. Never.
no because no matter what, every theory will be debated by someone
no





because there is uncertainity and errors in anything we do
i'm pretty sure there will never be such a thing as a theory of language.





have you ever seen my grammar?
