In our restatement of Einstein's theory we say, "the most incomprehensible thing about reality is that it is knowable." From what I have gathered from Heraclites this statement holds water. Heraclites states "It is in changing that things find response". Through this statement we can conclude that the only thing we can know is that the world is constantly changing.

Endogenous Growth Theory
