We do not gain knowledge when we are "supposed to have it." That sounds like a concept borrowed from a 1950s "B" sci-fi film. Knowledge is sometimes gained serendipitously (as in the discovery of Lucite) or after a long lapse (as in the creation of working lasers almost 50 years after the technology was there to first construct them). Sometimes knowledge is gained with great effort, as some of the knowledge, applications and technology developed by Edison. Therefore, I must assert that your statement: we will have a complete understanding of the universe mathematically as well as from all other perspectives and that it will come to us in a twinkle when we are supposed to have it. is flippant at best, ludicrous at worst.
