    This question arose after reading shins post in the Higgs Boson thread;

    If you knew there was nothing to know would you know nothing?

    The difference between a physicist and a metaphysicist is ..

    "The physicist tries to know more and more about less and less (because in order to know more he has to specialize) until he knows everything about nothing.

    The metaphysicist tries to know less and less about more and more until he knows nothing about everything."

    Sounds funny but is actually quite serious and profound.

    no you would know that you dont know, however consider the opposite, consider not knowing that you know

    I think as time goes on its harder to be innocent but its more rewarding at the same time

    "consider not knowing that you know"

    There is plenty of knowledge that falls into this area.
