But a tiny sliver ...

When looking at this pix photographed by yours truly during a train trip to hang out with my brother, one readily sees our take on existence is but a tiny sliver thanks to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Godel's Incompleteness Theorems and the two laws of thermodynamics as complete knowledge of any given event experienced by us at any point in time is impossible.

In essence, uncertainty defines the ultimate limit on how one views reality.

Formulated by the German physicist and Nobel laureate Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the uncertainty principle states that we cannot know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or electron, with perfect accuracy; the more we nail down the particle's position, the less we know about its speed and vice versa.

In other words, if we could shrink a tortoise down to the size of an electron, we would only be able to precisely calculate its speed or its location, not both at the same time.

In terms of Godel ...

For any such consistent formal system, there will always be statements about natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system. The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency.

i.e. This sentence is false.

Regarding thermodynamics ...

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only transformed. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside.

Entropy is the general trend of the universe toward death and disorder.

The arrow of time rules.
