"The Knowability Paradox"

The Knowability Paradox suggests that if every truth about the world is knowable, then all truths must actually be known or at least knowable in principle. However, this leads to a contradiction: there are many facts that remain unknown or unknowable to us, such as truths about the future or the vastness of the universe. This paradox challenges our understanding of knowledge, suggesting that while knowledge could be infinite, our ability to know everything is limited. In essence, it raises questions about the nature and limits of what we can truly know.
