We have absolutely not figured out most of the big picture.
One easy proof example: death. Everyone will experience this feeling, yet no one has a clue what happens with 100% certainly after death. Yet it’s one of the most fundamental things about life and existence. What is non-existence?

Of course we do. Unless steps are taken, it’s usually rotting and decomposission. There is literally farms where we study what happens to us after death.

I’m talking about the nature of the soul and spirit.

But this comment chain is about the limits that physics imposes on technology.
There is no evidence for the existence of souls or spirits, so they don’t really factor into that discussion.

I see what you’re saying. But I also think the comment chain is speaking to the limits of our knowledge. The “limits that physics imposes on technology” is only based on what human beings have figured out through our limits of testing the rules of existence. What we can’t test, we have never been able to prove. And some things we may never be able to test or prove (such as Dark Matter). It’s easy to say there isn’t evidence of something, just as easy as it is to say that it’s because it’s past our limit/ability to test those things right now.
