i am trying to ask that of everything possible there is to learn about the universe, how much do you think humans have uncovered....i am guessing that it is about 5-15%....does anyone have an actual theory or site leading me to an relative explanation...
the mind boggles...

Well, considering we haven't discovered everything, the percentage is impossible to know. We could be almost done, we could have only just begun. Look up 'theory of everything' on your favorite search engine.
Then search for 'the answer to life, the universe, and everything' on google.

Think about this... We don't yet know even close to everything there is to know about our own planet. That's the one thing in the entire universe that we've been able to get properly hands on with and we don't even fully understand that.
Now compare our planet to the size of the current known universe - that is, the universe that we've been able to see directly. Our planet is less than a billion-billion-billionth the size of the known universe. So if we don't even understand this tiny, tiny, planet that we live on fully, I would suspect that there's a VAST amount that we still don't know about the universe.
I couldn't possibly guess at a number which represents how much we currently know about the universe as a percentage of how much there is to know in total, but I would imagine it's more likely on the scale of 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001% rather than 5-15%..

If we take everything that has ever been written or drawn by the hand of man. From cave drawings to declarations of war to the words I am writting now. I'd say we only read the first two maybe three characters on the knowledge of the entire universe

I would find it impossible to designate a standing figure by percentage in regards to this topic. The clarity in scientific discovery of an ever-expanding universe should enable you to realize that knowledge therefore also must follow this concept of awareness.

Considering dark matter etc, we probably know around 1% about this universe. They believe there could be an infinite number of universes where our Physical laws don't apply, so that means we could never know even a trillionth of 1% of everything.

We don't know jack about the one planet we live on, much less the sun, and all the billions of stars in our galaxay and all the billions of galaxies in the univers. I'd say the fact that we only understand <.000000000001% of geography of the universe to be a telling blow to your theory.

How could we know that without knowing what else there is to be discovered - and then we would know about that stuff, wouldn't we? There will always be something new out there to learn. Everytime we discover something new, we find a lot of new stuff we knew nothing about.

universe is a vast vast space and star is like a point in the universe which is also one of the 10000000000000000 stars in the universe and the earth is like apoint in front of the star. so,we know 90% of the solar system which is a little more than a point
and we know just 0.0001% of the universe

u know wat we havn't even started exploring , i mean to say we just started it cud be taken in to consideration as 0.1-0.2%or may be less than that, do u know how big africa is , alot of people say exlplorers havn't explored nearly 70 percent of africa which is right on the planet and is accessible with all the real technologies but for space we arn't really geared up so in conclusion we've just started exploring and i dont think we will be able to explore the whol universe

if you really think about it, we know enough to know that we do know anything, and what we do know is mostly theory, but then we have been learning so rapidly i wouldn't be surprised if reached that perfection of knowledge before we wipe ourselves out, funny if that would be the cause of it
