Hahaha! Once emotional words come in, straight thinking goes out of the window.

@Alba, it's not just scientific knowledge that's limited ALL human knowledge will always be limited.

By the way @masukuma, it's the incompleteness of knowledge that necessitates 'metaphysics'.

met·a·phys·ics /ˌmedəˈfiziks/
noun
the branch of philosophy that deals with the
first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance,cause, identity, time, and space.

You're even engaging in it... in your 'science'.

There's neither past nor future. When we use such terms we're just creating convenient metaphors to live with our sense limitations.

'How big the universe is' is a myth we are trying to create. There's nothing like 'universe' in or by itself.

Another illusion and myth is that of a 'person'; or in this case 'scientist'.

In my estimation the 'greatest' realization is that experience must be appropriated and molded into subjective ideals and desires not for any other reason, but to 'satisfice' the pressures of momentary existence... a breath of a 'lifetime'.

From @Ash Ock's post - If we accept the simulation hypothesis we also accept that anything is possible and that nothing can be determined...as the extent of the illusion cannot be determined nothing can be determined.

We're back to absurdism.Existence is what you choose to believe it is.You could be right and we may never know or you could be wrong and it would be irrelevant.

There's one thing that can be determined; subjective experience. And this to me, excludes absurdism.

I can bear your emotional outbursts because I know that people don't have to be consistent at all times, and I'm not looking for some 'objective' truth to keep me safe and warm.

So argumenta ad hominem and expletives even from professional fools are most welcome.
