Can the unknown ever be made known?

Answer 1

It is already all known. We've simply forgotten that we know. But we are starting to remember. Slowly but surely! We are starting to awaken our consciences and remember all that is!

Answer 2

Some unknowns can be made known. What's unknown to me can be known to you; that's the basis of Yahoo!Answers. You tell me, teach me, and make the answer for what I seek it known.

Other unknowns are harder to make known, until prerequisites are met. Science cannot unlock one level of reality until certain other advances have been made. This kind of knowledge is based on experience and possibly random fits of inspiration, which works to explore avenues blindly until something works, hitting upon new knowledge.

Finally, some unknowns cannot be known. The question of an indetectable, omnipotent, omniscient being is perhaps the greatest example of this. We can disprove the validity of the certain mythologies already, but we can't disprove the existance of God, and nor can we prove it.

Answer 3

There are two types of unknowns: the relative unknown and the absolute unknown. The relative unknown will always be made known through human reason and the (although excruciating) steps of evolution it goes through. The process of grasping the unknown and making it known is a function of human reason. If something is unfathomable by human reason, then this is the absolute unknown.

Answer 4

At first place, how do we know that there is something like unknown.
What is known for you, is unknown for a blind person.
How a thought arises in blind man's mind, of unknown.
because you have told him stories about the world.
If you would not have told him, he could not have the thought about the world. now this blind man goes to another blind men,
and now the other blind men know that there exist something kind of world which is unknown for them.
Come back to your question, there is nothing like unknown.
All what was in the possibilities of human conscious to reach and to know, people have been reached there, and have known it.(not many. but because of those few, we know that there exists something like unknown)
The people who have dedicated their whole life to know the unknown.
There are things which are impossible to prove by scientific ways.
And the science will never be able to prove them.
All so called discoveries of science is, giving a different shapes and forms to that which is allready has been discovered.
A seeker declares that is possible to connect by telepathy, and scientist creates the process to make it available physically.
Your question is very significant, needs a long explanation.
In short, who seeks, he finds.
The thing is people don't want to work on it.
most of the people want to find a god on the net or a answer of like what is truth?
Its like some one tells there behind the high mountain lives god.
how many goes to discover, and people who don't want to move and search, they have invented a different ideas and their ideas
fit with the ideas of those who don't want to go for search hence their ideas fit to each other.

But who dare, he finds.
If you are standing on the road and as far as you can see, you see nothing, except empty road.
And there is a guy sitting on the tree, he can see some one is coming far away.
so what is unknown for you, is known for him.
for sure many things you know, which are unknown for me.

So now you have one more answer for your question.
For sure there exists better way to write and express, which is unknown to me.

good luck

Answer 5

our receptors(sensory organs) are the bodies source of information from the external world. It is the range of stimuli which these receptors can integrate that determines what our mind will be able to percieve. All the stimuli that are coersed into this range, is what i call the realm of potential. All the stimuli in this range can be rearanged in all the possible permutations of there quantum state; this would be all possible outcomes of life that could ever be experienced by a human being. this number is undoubtably large considering the # of known particals in the universe is around 4x10^79 so all possible arrangments amongst those particles would be absolutely rediculous. anything that lies out side of this "realm of potential" will most likely never be known by homosapiens, as it is, our nervous system will not register it. But to the contrary, it is theoretically possible to know everything there is to know bout what lies in the realm of potential reality.
