This article, from the BBC, is an interesting read, and touches on quite a few different aspects of any possible/probable?/permissible? TOE. : http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150409-can-science-ever-explain-everything ...above quoted, and quite a bit more at : http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150409-can-science-ever-explain-everything Seriously, an interesting read with some insights, but written so that anyone can Grok something from it...or so it seems to me.
The theory of everything in the context of physics is much narrower than what was quoted. It refers to a hopeful possibility that quantum theory and general relativity can be somehow reconciled to have a consistent theory of the four fundamental forces. The theory might even address questions about ordinary matter, dark matter, and dark energy
Exactly, and well put. We are quite lucky on Sciforums though. We have four who claim to have a TOE. [NUDGE, NUDGE, WINK, WINK. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
mathman, did you read the entire article at the link : http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150409-can-science-ever-explain-everything ? ...after all, it is referred to as a "Theory Of EVERYTHING"...so "The theory might even address questions about ordinary matter, dark matter, and dark energy".
What about the things that today are still unknown, how could you write about something that you don't have all the facts about as yet?
if you notice, all these so-called intellectuals have these insights and t.o.es, etc. and yet it's always touching low level basic physics/science. the problems are at higher levels, which none ever touch. it's actually comical.
Slow your roll, there, Daecon, those were neither my words, nor my exact sentiment. That was Katie Silver "quoting" John Barrow saying such in the Linked Article : ...the above quoted from, and more at : http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150409-can-science-ever-explain-everything I only Started the Thread because I thought that the Article was an interesting read, and that other Readers/Members, here at SciForums might also find it an interesting read.
