The point is to experience the universe in a way that maximizes pleasure and reduces suffering.

I disagree with you. My personal motivation to study physics has everything to do with burning curiosity and nothing to do with the romanticization of ignorance. I do not enjoy the failure of my pursuits.
My life is not fulfilled by the opportunity for discovery, it is filled by endless toiling labour, most of which will be fruitless. I do not believe that the discovery of everything would leave humanity bereft of purpose; it would provide an opportunity to apply the total human understanding of the universe to the ultimate betterment of each individual human being such that the subjective experience of suffering would be permeantly eliminated.
