It has become fashionable to talk about a "Theory of everything (TOE)". Are scientists really serious that their model describes really everything in the universe? If so, they must be either extremely pretentious or extremely stupid or probably both. At one time, the "Earth, Water, Air, Fire" theory was also a TOE, and I am sure that the theories of now will in a far future be considered as primitive as this one. So, I want to plea to stop using this terminology. It gives also a completely wrong impression to the "man in the street". We can never obtain the final truth. The only thing we can do is to reach or describe just a level deeper. Then we need again a lot of time and effort to move down again a level deeper, and so on.
