Webin this paper, we propose a logic of unknowable truths, investigate the logical properties of unknown truths and unknowable truths, which includes the similarities of the two notions and the relationship between the two notions, and axiomatize this logic.

So if all truths were knowable, it would follow that all truths are in fact known.

Webin this review, we discuss the key ideas and discoveries leading to the current understanding of protein folding kinetics, including folding landscapes and funnels, free energy barriers at the folding/unfolding pathways, and the solution of levinthal’s paradox.

In this paper we evaluate the leading proposals.

Webclarification to protein folding problem:

Essentially, fitch's paradox asserts that the existence of an unknown truth is unknowable.

Webthe main objection raised by the realists to the ‘epistemic’ conceptions of truth is the paradox of knowability, an argument for the conclusion that there are unknowable truths.

On one hand, we have the hopeful idea that all truths are possible to know.

The paradox of knowability threatens to draw a logical equivalence between the believable claim that all truths are knowable and the obviously false claim that all truths are known.

Webthe paradox states that this assumption implies the omniscience principle, which asserts that every truth is known.
