Some students answered my question about a limit on knowledge in favor to this question. Some said since technology is limited a the moment, it holds up the ability to learn past what we can now. Another also mentioned about limits on language and words. In a way I understood what he meant, but not fully. Are there no appropriate words to describe the newly findings? Professor Johnson brought up the idea that humans prematurely place limits, such as history. What they thought was certain hundreds of years ago, are now false or more complex. I definitely believe our knowledge has a limit for certain subjects, such as life after death. No one can say for sure what happens to our souls. Reason can be limited based on evidence as well but some people base their beliefs on faith despite evidence. For all we know, valid statements we believe to be true could certainly be proved false some time in the future.
I believe, depending on the subject of knowledge, limits are possible.
