Ah, but sometimes the journey is more important than arriving at the destination.
Actually if philosophers do find the ultimate solution to all the ethical problems humanity will ever face then it can't be the case that nothing will happen because,
ex hypothesi, philosophers have found the solution to all the ethical problems humanity will ever face, so that will have happened. The problem comes when philosophers continue to fail to make any meaningful contribution to solving even the smallest ethical problem that humanity faces - then nothing happens
