    What exactly will a TOE do for us as a society

    What exactly will a TOE do for us as a society. How will we benefit from knowing all the four forces are united or that we know the origin of the universe. Yes this is all interesting and good information, but what benefit will we gain from it once we know? -Curious high schooler.
