The Ultimate Exam for an Intelligent Species

Human science is fairly diverse but it also has collapsed along a few pathways. The ultimate exam for an intelligent species is working together to figure out the mystery of the universe. I feel like maybe we could do that on our own Daniel. And of course perhaps help us crack some of the lungs, the ending physics problems we're banging our heads against. It's certainly possible that we could figure it all out eventually. But we might not be the smartest species out there right?
