Trevelyan Micah of the Stellar Union Coordination Service thinks:
"Every time you thought you had reality expressed in a system you stumbled against a new facet. The sane man must be always distrustful of his own beliefs." (p. 142)
All theory, dear friend, is grey, but the golden tree of actual life springs ever green.
Faust pt. 1 (1808) ‘Studierzimmer’
-copied from here.
In a parable by Jiddu Krisnamurti, the Devil told his friend, "That man has just picked up a piece of the truth but it doesn't matter. He is only going to organize and systematize it."
I think that a Theory of Everything, if such were possible, would be a mathematical formula that would describe the most fundamental properties of the most fundamental entities, whatever those are, would unify the forces of nature and would explain the laws of physics although not the course of history. However, an alternative view is that all theories are partial and provisional because there is no fundamental nature of reality.
In Indian philosophy, there are three unorthodox systems and three pairs of orthodox systems but yoga and meditation can be practiced without reference to systems.
An installment of a future history series is part of a big debate.

Kaor, Paul!
Quantum mechanics and even the merely theoretical possibility of things like the FTL Alcubierre Space Warp Drive alone shows us Einstein's General Theory of Relativity does NOT explain everything. In neither the sciences or the even more chaotic sphere of human history and affairs.
