In this world, scientific discoveries and research have stopped: everything is known to mankind.

I'm wondering how we would know everything is known. Knowing how we proved that would be interesting.

Yes, I want to live in a world where everything can be explained.

No, I do not want to live in a world where we are necessarily correct with our explanations Smile

Also, in a world where everything can be explained... you are living in our current world, and do you see science stopping right now? Angel

Thank you for pointing that out.
Maybe I should have said "almost everything", but then the questions would arise: what is 'almost everything'?
On the other hand, omniscience is a difficult concept and it raises indeed the question how we would know that "everything is known".

It really depends what we discovered when we know everything.

If you ever play civilization for the PC, the lives of the citizens in the highest tech levels you can reach differ. You can either allow them to live in utopia, there is body exchange but also no sickness because of nano technology, no nuclear weapons, no one can commit war against you because you can read their mind, sea colonies, space colonies, fusion power and so on and so on, on the other hand you can make them believe they live in utopia while actually controlling them with a giant mind controller, increase their work days to the highest amount and decrease their pay and food usage to the lowest.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

A near limitless source of facts for me to memorize? Fuck yes!
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
