in hope...arthur
A toe is an unlimited amount of knowledge. I don't mean pages and pages of knowledge I mean an UNBOUND knowledge.
Lets consider why your car won't start. It is a limited question. There is a limit we need to apply to understand that problem. Lets become unlimited. Assume it wont start because the weather is very cold. Now why is the weather cold. Coz its winter. Why's it winter, the earth is tilted away from the sun or something I'm not sure about it never been good in geography. Why's is tilted away from the sun? We can give some reason. Now why is that and why is that?

The final why would be the TOE?
At that stage all our creation would have simplified to a matter which is a few seconds after creation, all the forces would be united all we know would be one single entity. So, we try to unite all the FOUR forces. Because force is a drive to do something. If we could find a common drive for everything, then its as good as finding what makes everything. So the TOE.
Well if the mechanic knew all this and started to explain it, nobody would have the patience to listen to him. His job is limited.
