I can simplify it for you:
- knowing everything = being aware of "everything" (everything there is to be aware of) through observation, inquiry, or information
- the capability to understand everything = the power or ability to interpret or perceive the significance, explanation, or cause of everything
So, we don't "know" what gravity is, but we do have some "understanding" of gravity. We can measure gravity. We understand how things behave on Earth in relation to gravity and how they would behave differently somewhere like the moon.
And of course suggesting that we have the capability to understand everything, despite not yet doing so, is a guess. It's an educated guess, just like "there is life beyond our planet" is an educated guess. You get to decide if, based on "the math" or really any and all of the knowledge we've acquired thus far, whether it's more or less likely than us currently being observed by a peaceful alien species that views us as violent toddlers. I'm sure that, too, is an educated guess, right? If you decide my educated guess is less likely than yours, I'd love for you to do the math for all of us, since it isn't hard.
Go on and show your work. I'm excited to see it.

Hahahaha. No. That's not the way it works. You got called out, do your own work. Don't try and pass that off onto someone else. And don't think for a second you get to use the term "educated" guess, because you are as uneducated as they come, and proud of that fact. I've never seen anyone so confident in their high school education in my life. Shut up, do your own work, and prove just how highly functioning you are. You won't, because you're only as good as your last google search. So show your work there big fella. Or just continue to move the goal posts further to obfuscate the issue. Because that's what you do.
