No wrong. We are yet to know how our future knowledge will effect our learning of future knowledge, let alone how much there is to know. Do you know how much there is to know?
Coz it seems untill we know that, then we can not measure how much more we need to know, and so such a prediticion is not yet avaliable to us.
