The Game of Go has been explored for 2500 years and resulted in a body of theories that Go masters study in Go schools. Alpha Go discovered that human Go understanding was caught in a local optimum, and broke out of it. The game of modern physics started only 130 years ago...
If you are right, would we not expect that we have too many unified theories to decide between, instead of the current situation where there is NOT A SINGLE ONE. Isn't it clear that unified theories must exist, and we have been a bit too dense to grasp the necessary mathematics?

Isn’t it also possible that the model required for unified theory is too complicated for human brains?

I believe that is what I just said. (Even though I suspect that it is a nut that we could eventually crack. AI will probably get us there much faster.)

I think it’s more like we are failing to come up with a unified theory of a pizza slice, because we can’t see a whole pie.

More like the difficulty of coming up with a theory of molecular dynamics in water while being a vortex inscribed on a traveling wavefront emergent over those dynamics. We probably have all the observations we need, but we still think of waves as real and not emergent.
