"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." - Douglas Adams

Remember, Douglas Adams is a fiction writer.
And while it may be an interesting (and possibly true) hypothesis, we will never know - if no one ever learns the truth the universe doesn't end, and if someone does learn the truth we'll all be gone.

If you think into it more then you can see that it is not really a theory but means after discovering the mysteries of what the Universe is and why it is here, then because the universe is such a large place it will be replaced by more complex mysteries that we have never thought of before. One more discovery brings in a whole lot of new questions, this is what fuels the essence of science.

This is one theory that I believe to be untrue. Everything about the universe is allready so complicated so to try and make it even more complicated does not hold up.
Everything, and it is actually not much, that we know about the universe does not even remotely point to this possibilty.

Well, that would be a hypothesis, not a theory.
And to me it sounds pretty ridiculous. I don't see how simply understanding something could cause it to magically disappear.

I think that for every empty bucket, there is a theory that someone can put into it.

This question will be an excellent sense-of-humour-meter.

silly silly silly.
The only time there will be a change is when
when the Lord returns.
You may scoff at this, read a Bible you may
change your mind.
God bless.
