Humanity builds its understanding of reality on the foundations of major sciences—physics, mathematics, chemistry.
Yet these foundations are limited. Even our best sciences leave major questions unanswered, and some questions may never be answered at all.
At the most basic level, even the simplest question—“What is…?”—might remain uncertain forever.
The unknown probably won’t affect the basic functioning of humanity, but it creates confusion about our ability to fully understand reality.
As our questions reach higher and more abstract levels, the answers may no longer bring us clarity or satisfaction. Eventually we might reach a point where the deepest questions simply have no accessible answers. These limits would affect not just science, but every major area of philosophy.

Possible Scenarios
1. Total scientific explanation, but with a limit
Science may eventually explain everything that can be explained.
However, this would still involve reaching a final limit—a point beyond which science cannot go, simply because of its own structure and rules.
2. All meaningful questions answered
Science might progress to a level where every question that could give us understanding or satisfaction is answered.
Anything beyond that point would be unrelated, inaccessible, or irrelevant to human life.
3. Knowledge reaches its maximum, but something remains beyond it
Humanity might eventually understand the limits of reason itself.
We may know the boundary of what can be known, even if we can never cross it.
In this scenario, the existence of the unknown is certain, but its contents are too abstract to grasp or describe.
