It's widely known
(To them alone)
That physicists own
A Rosetta Stone,
To unlock the zone
Of the Great Unknown.
It's also widely known (again, to physicists) that physicists are a very humble lot, having laid claim to a Theory of Everything (that explains nothing [quite literally]).
Such humility may well have its roots in the writing of the great French physicist and philosopher Runawé Horsencartes, who once made the unassuming remark: "I think therefore I know".
Compare that to the pomposity of the Greek philosopher Socrates: "I know that I know nothing".
