When will science discover the whole universe ?

What do you mean? Do you mean to ask when humans can know all there is to know? I'd say never.

Probably this.
More questions will come up.
And how sad a universe would it be to have nothing to learn about the universe.
Not just that. There are also intrinsic limits to the ways in which humans can perceive and understand the territory of the universe. A human will never be able to experience things like a robin does or a tree does, for example.

I find this attitude to what science really is about to be flawed on several levels. First because scientists are still working to understand our immediate environment and such a hypothetical possibility seems to compare science with mysticism. Second, because scientists do their best (or should) to accomplish realistic goals and also reasonable goals in light of resources waste. This does not mean that scientists do not aim for breakthroughs, it simply means that a vague idea to discover the whole universe does not mean much.
Maybe scientists would be an element in the discovery of off world phenomena, but they would be part of larger enterprises of colonizers, explorers, and industries. So the term discoveries is a bit lacking.
What does it exactly mean to discover the whole universe? To send human scouts in all its directions and map all of its far reaches?

That's true; I did think about something similar to this. Admittedly, I thought about bees and ducks. Not quite as cool sounding.

Than, what are their limits ?

Hopeless steps.
Far, far too many to list out exhaustively (in addition to limitations depending on the individual organism in question). Everything that any organism experiences is framed and limited by its physiological capabilities.

Never.
Ah, and the lack of time travel machines also puts a serious snag in understanding anything other than the "right now" and that which leaves traces to be analyzed in the "right now." Countless things will never be known by humans given the evidence for them simply doesn't exist anymore.

But why don't they forgot their spouses after discovering them ?

I don't think anyone will ever discover the whole universe if there is such thing, like it just doesn't come to a brick wall and that's that lol.

It means its an childish act to deny the possibility of God existence until science discover the whole universe, is it ?

But with all respect it works both ways, I personally think the whole Cosmos is God.
No, it just means there are some things that may be nearly impossible to ever know or understand.
