I find it interesting that many people assume there are no limits to our understanding. In fact, our brains may just not be up to the task of understanding the universe. Just as you could never teach a chimpanzee the rudiments of calculus because its brain is not up to it, maybe we have our limitations as well. Possibly there are some super-intelligent (to us) beings out there whose brains and understanding are as far beyond us as we are beyond chimps.
