universeOnly two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe.
The universe is a lot more complicated than you might think even if you start from a position of thinking that its pretty damn complicated to begin with.
"Not that anyone cares what I say, but the Restaurant is on the other end of the universe"
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
To be

of the Creator of the Universe,
you fool. Kilgore Trout's unwritten reply to the question "What is the purpose of life?"
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. This idea is not novel. Men have been led to it long ago by instinct or reason; it has been expressed in many ways, and in many places, in the history of old and new. We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians and in many hints and statements of thinkers of the present time. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.
Belief is nearly the whole of the Universe, whether based on truth or not.
If we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason — for then we would know the mind of God.
