only when x becomes nil).
When K - X = that is the stage to be reached and until the value of X is absolutely nil knowledge will not be total. It will be covered. Only when the knowledge is total - totally uncovered then the equation will be proved. This position is possible only when x is nil otherwise never. It can never be - K or - X, most certainly - Kand - X can never exist.
This can be expressed in another way : -
K is always positive and independent of x is complete while x is always negative (as relevant to K) and always substracts K. K will become total but can never be nil. x can however become nil but can never be total or absolute.
Independently K - x is reduction of effect of x with lesser being the x greater would be increase of) K.
Similarly independently is effect of K when reduced by effect of x and then more the x greater would be the reduction of effect of x with corresponding increase of K.
K - X = ... x is a factor or event which would be equal in both K - x and only when at both values it would be nil.
We have to consider three points in the universe and two distances in between. The first is where we are relative to space and relative to time. The second is what event we want to know which has taken place relative to space and time in past. And similarly the third point is relative to a future time and future space for a future event. The distance between any of the two is subject of our position and query.
How these distances are to be covered ? Unless we can cover these two distances we can never know either the past or future. The only relief is that at any time we have at least two fixed points to cover so it can be covered. If there never were two points then the time would have remained unknown.
Speed of knowledge is hindred by Kc. The less the Kc more is the speed and when Kc is totally absent, K is having its full speed. So to say in which case K's speed becomes infinite which is certainly more than required to know a finite past or finite future.
Of course when one is predicting that at a particular time this eclipse will take place - this only means a forecast commensurate with knowledge
