 Re: What is limiting us?
Hey UZ, interesting question. I think that we are most restricted by 2 things:
1. we don't all have an idea of what the TOE encompasses, or which disciplines it will apply to. Is it the theory of everything or is it simply a way to reconcile QM and GR? Does it impact math, geometry, philosophy, spirituality?
2. We have (artificially IMO) separated 'truth' into many disciplines, each with their own set of rules. The rules make sense internal to the discipline, but attempting to reach truth outside the discipline becomes very frustrating! Earlier times, we had alchemy (which has gotten a REALLY bad name but I'm not sure why) which seemed to have been able to combine a few disciplines successfully (although not all of them). I think that our lack of harmony between various ways of finding truth (basically the tunnel vision we have) is the most limiting aspect of all.
