<p>I have two questions:</p> <p>(1) In physics we have the theory of everything, marking the end of our amazing journey towards reducing the principles of the universe into a simple conclusion. But is there a similar holy grail in mathematics, marking the grand closing of it?</p> <p>(2) People refer mathematics as the "Servant of Sciences", and the "Queen of Science", I found this rather intriguing and somewhat sarcastic, is Mathematics only a Tool?</p> <p>Thank you, any valuable insights are valued.</p>
