Shouldn't a TOE be astoundingly simple?

Does it have any hope of being a 'theory of everything' when it has no apparent applications outside of physics?
5589,I personally think that the TOE should,or will be astoundingly simple.

I dont think physics will supply the whole equation,part of,but not wholly.

Humilty,coupled with boldness,surprises truth to
