Him: We can’t go back. We don’t understand everything yet. Her: “Everything” is a little ambitious. We barely understand anything. Him: Yeah. But that’s what the first part of understanding everything looks like.
Him: We can’t go back. We don’t understand everything yet.

Him: We walked along the sea for days and we didn’t learn anything. Up here we’re learning lots. Her: We haven’t learned why the sea rose. Him: But maybe we were never going to. Him: There’s food and water here. I don’t want to go all the way back down, walk along the sea for a few more days, then have to turn around. Him: Maybe the sea is too big to understand. We can’t answer every question. Her: No, But I think we can answer any question.

That last part is the most important.
We can’t answer every question. No, but I think we can answer any question.

Cool, what is an accurate proof of P=NP?
Is there a finite proof for or against? If so, we will most likely find it.
Is there a finite proof that there is no such proof? That would be weird and unfortunate, but then the answer is “Mu”.
Is there an infinite proof? Well, um. In this case I’d probably argue that the proof doesn’t matter, and you can’t tell anyway.
