We could have an approximate answer, which still eludes something.
99%, maybe.
We'll be able to describe it with 99% certainty or 99% accuracy.
And then maybe, you know, in a hundred years or, you know, next year, somebody will come up with a different point of view, which suddenly will change our perspective.
To this point, I want to say also one thing that I find fascinating, speaking of paradoxes and so on.
