we will never figure it out completely, the real problem is even if someone puts out a theory of everything that is actually correct, there will be people that wont believe it because it doesnt fit with their own beliefs and keep driving the search coming up with more wacky theories that will be accepted also. personally i dont have my own theory or agree that any certain one is right because i just cant comprehend the physics behind some of them and just because it doesnt seem rational doesnt mean it doesnt happen. hell, look at quantum physics thats just weird stuff.
too many chefs in the kitchen, the driving force behind getting answers now imho is to get your name on a plaque
just to really mess with your head, if the big bang theory is correct, how the hell did the singularity get there in the first place? before you answer, think of this.. how did (insert your answer) get there also? theres a lot of strange stuff going on, ie. the law that says matter cannot be created nor destroyed (same with energy) but in that case the big bang didnt happen and black holes cant exist
confused yet? if not well, look at the string theory and you soon will be
