There seem to be some basic algorithmic information theory problems here. How can you fit all the patterns in an N-bit universe, in a < N bit subset of the universe?? But I don't trust my intuition very well in such domains. It seems very odd to me that any human would think THEY could know whether or not a drastically superhuman intelligence could ever come to "know everything". Isn't this a bit like dogs or beetles trying to infer the extent of knowledge possessed by a human being? If we create AI systems that know tremendously more than us, it may be very hard for us to understand the sense in which such systems can know "everything" or not.
