yes, we cant see what happened before the cosmic bacground microwave radiation. nd we cant see outside the universe or we cant see atoms because they are smaller than lights wavelengths... if you mean grasp as in comprehend not discover, then the geometry of the universe, the size, what more than 4 dimentions look like. what blackholes look like inside. what its like outside the universe

There are issues a pair of lot of issues, that people will never hold close. we can not even hold close the seen peace among men. And in basic terms how tiny can something be? can we actually comprehend how a good distance down, (getting smaller and smaller) we are able to flow? right into a tiny univese, perhaps...What if the tiny universe is yet another universe like ours, with worlds and suns and different issues, and it in basic terms retains getting smaller and smaller, and then....greater universes.... and extra and extra... constantly getting smaller, like ours is continually getting bigger. something is achieveable.... we can not hold close it in our tiny minds...

yes. how can anyone know all there is to know bout the universe. impossible. indeed ungraspable. we can see hardly beyond a fraction of a speck of it.

It's very possible. For example, we can't see outside our universe - so we might never know what's out there. Outside our universe includes however the big bang got started, so that's another thing we might never be sure about. But that doesn't mean we should stop trying - 100 years ago they thought they had figured out everything there was to know about the universe. And 100 years ago, they didn't know squat compared to what we know today.

We know that there are many phenomena that we, as three-dimensional creatures cannot grasp because they occur in higher orders of dimensionality. We can do mathematical calculations in forms up to hundreds, or even thousands of dimensions, but we would never be able to see or visualize real objects in hyperdimensional space.
