People wonder if there is infinite knowledge, however in order to understand wether knowledge is infinite, one must first understand what knowledge is. Often people think of knowledge as though it is synonymous with truth. However knowledge is what is popular perception the truth. truth doesn't change, knowledge does. You can look up at the sky and think that the sun revolves around the earth. However currently that is not supported by popular belief. Because knowledge is ever-changing with along with one's perception, it theoretically is infinite.

Re: infinite knowledge
My personal feeling is that there cannot be a final piece of information which explains it all because that would meanĀ  coming to an end. Without drive to discover, uncover and understand there would be no meaning to human life any longer. I also agree that perception is what makes the difference between you and I. Again, if perception would become one with absolute knowledge the human kind, and mind, would die of pure boredom
