Is knowledge finite or infinite?

Think about it.

Is it truly possible to know every single thing in existence? Or is there always something new being created that makes it mathematically impossible to ever learn or know everything?

One day we may know everything about what is on earth. But that doesn't make knowledge finite. Then we have space, and every single speckle and star, and planet in an infinite field. But is it possible to be able to grasp everything that there could ever be?

So, do you believe knowledge is finite or infinite?

Finite

Why? (Not saying your wrong or right just simply asking)

Cause infinite implies there's no limit, but there is a limit to knowledge. It can be really freaking high, but not infinite.

The universe is apparently finite in size, therefore

I'd say it's finite, but not at this moment. Knowledge also includes history right?
Well history is still happening as time continues, but suppose time ends, then history will no longer continue.

There will be a period to the sentence, and end to what you can learn.

There's a finite number to the amount of songs we could ever create that aren't the same, or a copy of another. The number is astronomically high. But it's finite in its respective combinations.

There's always a stop sign at the end of some road.

To my mind, new information equals new knowledge, and as 'existence' or whatever we choose to call it may very well be infinite, I'm going to learn towards infinite.
