Someone else might be able to answer this question better than I.

Lee Smolin wrote a paper where he states

It is shown that the matrix models which give non-perturbative de nitions of string and M theory may be interpreted as non-local hidden variables theories in which the quantum observables are the eigenvalues of the matrices while their entries are the non-local hidden variables.

Which seems to imply to me that even a unification theory like M theory still has apparent limits to our perception.
