The Limits of Physics: Can We Ever Know Everything?

Physics seeks to describe the universe, but fundamental limits may prevent us from knowing everything.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle sets inherent limits on simultaneously measuring certain properties, like position and momentum.
Gödel’s incompleteness theorems imply that some truths about mathematical systems—and therefore physics—may be unprovable.
Quantum randomness introduces intrinsic unpredictability at the smallest scales.
The vastness of the cosmos and the speed of light constrain the information we can observe.
Black holes hide information behind event horizons, challenging our ability to access all cosmic data.
Even with perfect technology, some phenomena may remain fundamentally unknowable.
Theories of everything aim to unify physics, but experimental confirmation may remain limited by practical constraints.
Observational limits, cosmic horizons, and dark energy set boundaries on what can ever be measured.
The quest to understand the universe pushes human knowledge, but physics may always leave mysteries at the edge of comprehension.
