You can help scientists, what band of energy should they be looking for or should they be looking for matter or what do you think would be a signature?

Please man, you didn't write PBUH after you typed the name of the prophet. :sarcasticThere is a good restaurant at the end, according to Douglas Adams.

To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

Science is currently questioning whether the Big Bang happened at all. But that's ok, we know we can be wrong on the path to getting it right.

Tell that person, just be careful, don't let yourself slip and fall somewhere from that end

And a toilet too..There is a good restaurant at the end, according to Douglas Adams.
Because after seeing the endless depth of universe at that special End, one can get ******.
That such questioning is meaningless at least until you attempt to clarify what this "whole universe" would be, and how do you know that it may conceivably be "discovered".

So, its impossible.
Right ?

First we must discover what kind of universe we live in. An infinite expanse (probably not) one very large expanse (more likely) surrounded by similar expanses? Is the 'universe' merely one of many 'bubbles' in a sort of 'foam'? These are all questions scientists are currently asking. One can't go on an adventure of exploration without first having a map.

Considering the vast amount of "stuff" out there. I don't think we are going to run out of things to examine.
On a micro level this may give you a sense of the scope:

We use to get a terabyte of information a year from all of our instruments and observations of the universe, now we get that in a day.
"When Astronomy Met Computer Science
Digital sky surveys and real-time telescopic 
observations are unleashing an unprecedented flood 
of information. Astronomers have recently created new tools to sift through all that data, which could contain answers 
to some of the greatest questions in cosmology."
"A new generation of sky surveys promises to catalog literally billions and billions of astronomical objects. Trouble is, there are not enough graduate students in the known universe to classify all of them. When the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) in Cerro Pachón, Chile, aims its 3.2-
billion-pixel digital camera (the world’s largest) at the night sky in 2019, it will capture an area 49 times as large as the moon in each 15-second exposure, 2,000 times a night. Those snapshots will be stitched together over a decade to eventually form a motion picture of half the visible sky. The LSST, producing 30 terabytes of data nightly, will become the centerpiece of what some experts have dubbed the age of peta*scale astronomy—that’s 1015 bits (what Borne jokingly calls “a tonabytes”."

I just told you that you must delimit your question before a meaningful answer can be offered, didn't I?

Hi chinu
Although, we have learned a lot through optical telescope, radio telescope, the Hubble, the WMAP, etc, there are limitations to what we can know outside of Earth. None of us, can actually experience what goes on in our universe, because we can't go exploring other galaxy, other star or other planet (outside of our solar system). We don't even know as much as we think we know of our nearest neigbhors, like the Moon, Venus and Mars, or our Sun.
As it is, we have barely scratch the surface of what is really out there. So there will always be something to learn about the universe.

When will chinu pose a coherent question? Possible or impossible ? what do you think.

Of course you told, Luis.
And I also a got a meaningful answer too.

If we already know that there will always be something to learn about the universe, than what for we are learning ?
