what is the limit to how much a person can know?

Question

please dont say limitless

Answer 1

I'm not going to say limitless. There is absolutely NO LIMIT to how much a person can know. If you ever stop learning then you're dead.'

Answer 2

That depends entirely on the person. You can always learn more than you know now, but you'll never know everything, if only because the universe is just so huge. The only practical limit to how much any person can know is defined by how much time and effort that person cares to put into learning things.

Answer 3

You're comparing the brain's memory to a computer's memory. Two very, very different entities.

The knowledge of a human is stored according to how their neurons are interconnected with one another.

We have billions upon billions of neurons.

Think of a combination lock with 7,875,323,298 numbers on it. How many combinations can you make?

In short, though our capacity for knowledge may not be limitless, the number of individual thoughts possible is so huge that it defies description with any number we've yet calculated.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

It truly is limitless, at least our brain capacity. It is said that we store everything we ever see, do or hear. The problem is that we can't remember or access all the information, so you don't really "know" it. Like on a test for example, something you know you studied, and it's up there somewhere, but you can't remember it, so in essence, you don't know it.

Answer 5

How much can a person store in the mind? Differs. Some people can only remember a few minutes ago, and some mentally retarded people have extra room in the brain, and can remember anything they ever said, saw, heard, etc. We have never been able too "fill" a mind, so we do not know. When you learn new things, you sometimes forget other things. It differs for each person, and our minds change stuff. We will probably never know.

Answer 6

Hi. There are many forms of "know". How much has a person read, say. How much of what was read is remembered. How much of what was remembered was understood. Most people "know" quite a bit about some particular thing, such as sports. They "know" the rules, statistics, players names and skills. But very few "know" how to hit a homer.

The limit is really the level of curiosity and the amount of time in our lives spent to satisfy that curiosity.

Answer 7

for the rest of their lives

we never stop learning things of life
so it would be for life with the understanding that the person must want to learn

Answer 8

the capacity to learn is never going to end in a person with reasonable abilities. it all depends on how you feed that monster..lol i feed mine daily, i expect to be all knowing at any given moment.

Answer 9

There is no limit to knowledge.
it depends on how much you are willing to learn.
But there are certain things you cannot think about.
For example, how God looks like.
try to think about things that you can see.

Answer 10

Learning is a lifelong process as they say....so sorry, but I must say: no limit!
