Yep knowledge is never complete. It is interesting how it changes over time. I understand for example that in George Washington's day the Encyclopedia Brittanica was only 1 volume. So we now have a lot more knowledge of the world than in say 1776 (some 241 yrs ago) including advances in basic science.
