Would the brain be able to sustain infinite knowledge?

Update:

ioerr, I would imagine it would also lead to devastating traumatization.

    no..

    people (not scientists) often described that a human brain can store about 1.44 megabyte of details or the size of a floppy disk.. by comparison, most MP3 music files are about twice that much.. which is not a lot..

    people knew about the limits of our brain for centuries since the early times of recorded history and philosophy.. but probably one of the most iconic description to the limits of our brain, is in 'the Attic Theory' by Sherlock Holmes 130 years ago..

    feel free to google search for the attic theory.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xUkZtmMqyY

    nope. whatever infinite knowledge means, it's infinite by definition, and whatever storage mechanism the brain uses, it's necessarily finite. so nope.
