We already have the concept of the eschaton, or the singularity. Is this a realistic concept? I don't know! But if you accept it, then the inability to see people at or beyond is is simple -- there is a large gap because progress past the point we are at is geometric up to physical limits that we are nowhere near today.

I didn't have the concept of the eschaton until today, looks like an interesting rabbit hole to explore.

Congratulations on your recent immanentization of the concept of the eschaton! ;)
