Just because you cannot know everything about something doesn't mean you cannot know a little bit about it. If sometime was truly unknowable then you couldn't know anything at all about it.
I think there's a difference between what seems unknowable to us now, and what will seem unknowable in the future. Just think of all we "know" now that no one ever dreamed of in the past. It sometimes seems - in our political world, at any rate - that "the future" doesn't extend more than 50 years or so, but just imagine 20,000 years from now! That's assuming at lot, of course.
