TL;DR
If we could have one day theory of everything thing, would we be able to explain why there is something rather than nothing and would we be able to know why there are physical laws?

We won't know the answer to this unless and until we discover a TOE.

Thread 'Thermodynamic Approaches to Quantum Gravity: Discussion'

Jacobson’s work (1995) [1] demonstrated that Einstein’s equations can be derived from thermodynamic principles, suggesting gravity might emerge from the thermodynamic behavior of spacetime, tied to the entropy of horizons. Other researchers, such as Bekenstein [2] and Verlinde [3], have explored similar ideas, linking gravity to entropy and holographic principles. I’m interested in discussing how these thermodynamic approaches might apply to quantum gravity, particularly at the Planck...
