Now it does, even through it wasn't me who edited it. (I have even a albi for the time

From wikipedia:
[...]The primary problem in producing a TOE is that the accepted theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity propose radically different descriptions of the universe, and straightforward ways of combining the two lead quickly to the renormalization problem in which the theory does not give finite results for experimentally testable quantities.

The article seems to have the "This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject." longer than your post. Quoting a wikipedia article which that pretext is pointless.

Perhaps you should "question everything", including that Gödel bloke.

I do question. But that doesn't need to mean that I have to answer with no.
You proposed following scientific thinking.
Believing in mathematical proofs is essiential for scientific thinking.
So either I question the scientific thinking, which mean I question Gödel or I believe in it, which mean no ToE.
Either way there is no room for a scientific ToE.
In addition there is Gödel's thought experiment that shows that a computer can't be omniscient, which I can follow. From there it is comprehensible that you can go to the theorem with high mathematics.
Hopefully I will someday have the mathematical knowledge to understand the proof (~80 pages) myself, but till then the split does well.
