Nobody knows anything about the real world

What is current level of human knowledge, technology, science? If we compare knowing nothing and total discovery of all.. Where we are now? Do we know much? Are we halfway? 


My physics teacher used to say, that the beauty of universe hides in the fact, that we will never come to absolute knowledge of all. Consider even more philosophical question. Maybe our physical form does not allow to look inside some things and there is no tool to access further than some limit? Maybe we are isolated from all world in our universe like embryo in an egg?

So, what if I tell You, that nobody knows anything about the real world. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? On one hand we, humans poses our technology, science, great achievements of all kinds, but on the other hand, we do not know anything about world that surrounding us. Don’t be hasty and let me explain what I mean.


First thing that I want to emphasise, is a problem that many people encounter when speaking, thinking about or imagining things like space, universe, physical processes - they (we) see it through a prism of everyday experience of surrounding environment. However, universe is not what we can see and feel, but just what it is. Seems obvious, but not quite clear. The point is that our senses lie, it’s like taking panoramic pictures with 0.1 MP camera - You see a view, but not the details.


Some would say, that it is not upon us, simple mortals to discover and understand the universe. Scientists are doing that. But no... The truth is that nobody knows what real world is, they only describe some simplest processes mathematically  in very narrow range of conditions, with lots of simplifications, assumptions. All the theories are rough simplifications! We use them because there is no need, nor technology to explore very details of things we currently use. In other words, a theory could be enough for certain applications. But it is not enough to state any theory to be final and pure for a phenomenon it describes.


Third and final for this time is a question - Have we seen everything? What if are still missing a lot of thing for the very simple reason: these thing are not present, not happening close enough to track them using present technology. Or, as I’ve mentioned before, we are somehow divided from remaining world (in space or time or other yet unknown dimension).


Why do I bother writing this stuff? Well, because it leads to very exciting conclusion - when You know nothing, then everything is possible! I was always very interested and excited about all kinds of science fiction, new technologies, future vision, so this blog is dedicated to all that stuff!
