In the future maybe, I don't think it's fundamentally impossible.
I guess it's not impossible although I'm pretty certain there will always be something unknown that we cannot understand (or simply can't understand since we can't even know about it - it's undetectable by science).
Scientists and science as a whole, possibly, 1 individual scientist I would say is impossible though of course. You can't study and understand EVERYTHING - if only because there's no time!!
That's why it's important that you study things you are the most interested in I think
- cos there's not time to study it all so you might as well make sure you are studying something you find to be interesting.EvF
