Definition

A tongue-in-cheek term for the supposedly built-in protections or limitations in nature and DNA that prevent humans from reverse-engineering or fully understanding the universe—like introns in genes or quantum mechanics. It's the idea that God (or nature) put locks on certain knowledge.

Example Usage

Scientists hit another godlock when trying to predict particle behavior at the quantum level.
