Show me please
The big bang can be explained. It's just physics. Just like radiation can be explained, and magnetism, or the strong nuclear force. There was once a day when these terms would've fried the brains of even our greatest scientists, but humans persevered and kept poking around. The LHC is much more powerful than any particle accelerator we've ever created before. Maybe the LHC won't answer our questions, maybe it will be our next great endeavour, but if we keep asking the questions, eventually we'll get the answers. Everything we have achieved to this day is proof.
The fundamental difference is that the TOE is about the existence fundamentals. It would be about explaining the big and the small in the same theory, and thus explaining the singularity and big bang. But we have reason to believe that's not explainable, as all laws probably are broken in the singularity, and there has never once been an ounce of unifying anything big and small. Quantum mechanics quite literally makes no sense and is largely unknowable. TOE is trying to combine it all into one theory, which we don't really even know is possible, and we certainly haven't made much, if any, headway
