Basically, Godel showed that any mathematical structure with a finite set of axioms will have certain unsolvable problems in it, i.e. problems to which we cannot know if there is an answer. Sicne physcis is rooted in mathematics, the same principles apply. We will eventually find that there are some problems we cannot solve. So how can physcis ever be perfect? And why would we want it to be perfect? We're always tryign to learn more. The day mankind decides that physcis is perfect and hangs its collective scientific hat on the hook is the day that I no longer wish to be a human. Quote:

1. "We are living in a material world and I am a material girl" Non-material.... probably would not work for Madonna and since she has a 1 word name like God I guess she is the authority on that! 2. No, The universe is chaos. 3.Free will would exist but using certain evaluation tools and stacks of equations could be predicted. 4. Nothing should ever be Satisfactory. Someone once said you only got the answer because you gave up.

![]() I mean non-material in its most literal sense: not made up of matter.
And if we are confident that we can never really, fundementally, be sure about anything (due to chaos theory), why is searching for knowledge good? also, Quote:

You are not searching for Knowledge more you are searching for understanding, Chaos may not be easy to understand but it can be understood. When you understand something you can then accept it and in accepting it it can grant you peace of mind I just realized i added logic to my joking around... oh well. BTW I am one of the Local Goofballs. My name minus Mofo explains me. Smart and goofy!
