Pardon, but what would be left unexplained in physics? The whole point of a GUT is to create one theory to explain all aspects of physics. Godel's theorem clearly implies that it can't be done, as there will always be questions unanswerable. I have no problem with Unification Theories, just the idea of a all-encompassing GUT.... But the belief that there
can be a GUT, is an act of "faith".
