Response to Misty's "Can There Be Too Much Knowledge?"

I'd like to begin by saying that I disagree with the assertion that humans have a finite capacity for knowledge. Never have I encountered a time when a human has honestly said, "I have reached the limit, I can learn no more." The only time a human stops learning is when he dies.
Equally disturbing is the assertion that a human should ever stop trying to learn about something. We can never know exactly what a poet or author meant by their works. So we continue to study, to attempt to learn to come closer to true understanding.
As for string theory? I find it too extreme to assume that everything in existence has invisible strings connecting each other.

"The theory depends for its existence upon magical coincidences, miraculous cancellations
and relations among seemingly unrelated (and possibly undiscovered) fields of mathematics." -Paul Ginsparg and Sheldon Glashow
Physics Today, May 1986

A more reasonable theory, especially when it pertains to literature is the idea of Degrees of Separation. That you can connect anything to anything else logically, but not physically.
