I believe that if you set out on a path of understanding, if that first step is in the wrong direction, you could be just moving further away from the truth the further you go and the deeper you think your understanding becomes.
I know I am coming from an entirely different school of thought than Oojay and blastingas here, but I think that before you can really pretend to understand the universe, you have to start with the basics, for example by trying to answer questions like : How can we understand something? How can you know something to be true? Answering the basic questions may help you take that first step on the path to understanding in the right direction.
