Qiao Ze wasn't sure if human research into mathematics and physics had an endpoint, but there was one thing he was certain of: if the Unified Theory could truly be completed, it would become a new starting point for human civilization.
Only by completing the unified research could humanity formally challenge the speed of light. Only by successfully breaking the speed of light could humanity delve into deeper cosmic exploration. Otherwise, under the current theoretical framework, even information being bound by the limitation of light-speed propagation restricts human civilization's ability to explore the universe.
For instance, if this theory could not be overcome, it would mean humanity could never truly know what the universe looks like at present. Astronomical telescopes capture signals originating from billions of light-years away, indicating that these signals were generated billions of years ago.
