In the exact sciences, there is a concept of an unsolvable problem when scientists prove that something cannot be solved. For example, in astronomy, there is a three-body problem that cannot be solved in general, only in specific cases, or there is a task of stopping a problem where it becomes proven that it cannot be solved algorithmically.
However, I would say that these are tasks that we set for ourselves based on the limitations of our knowledge and conclusions. Therefore, we cannot say that nature is, in principle, unknowable. We can only say that we do not yet know it.
However, we should not say that such knowledge is completely inaccessible. In the past, people thought that there were certain boundaries of knowledge, and then we made discoveries that opened up those boundaries. We have a little data at our disposal to assert there is a clear limit to our knowledge.
I think that we will always strive for knowledge, and there will be ups, downs, and all kinds of periods in development, as humanity’s history proves. However, in general, the process of cognition is one of filling ourselves, and it is limitless.
