Theories in Physics: The Theory of Everything

In modern day Physics many believed theories and laws, proposed by some of the greatest minds to walk on the face of the Earth, contradict one another. This dilemma has caused many experts to propose a hypothetical Theory of Everything: a set of laws that would support the laws of nature, and the idea of existence. The closest modern day physicists have come to establishing a Theory of Everything is the research done by Stephen Hawking in regards to blackholes and the origins of the Universe. Thus far it is considered the most substantial connection created between quantum physics and Einstein’s gravitation, which in the theory of relativity, gravity was stated to be simply a warp of spacetime by matter.

Today String Theory, a common theory popularized by shows like The Big Bang Theory, has been considered to be the elusive Theory of Everything that many physicists seek. However this theory has drawbacks including but not limited to the fact that the theory has five different formulations and each of the formulations themself cover a set range of restricted situations. M-theory is the idea that multiple mathematical equations work within each of the separate five formulations and interconnect them into a system. This overarching system is hypothesized to be the final Theory of Everything; however each of the portions of the system as stated are reliant on a restricted range, a range that doesn’t overlap within the formulations. This creates a paradox where the system is both proven to be true and also false.

The Theory of Everything for now is simply a hypothetical idea, a sense of reasoning to the conundrum that is existing and understanding. The Theory of Everything for physicist’s is the final product of understanding everything, which is impossible to create while uncertainty exists. How will you help develop the Theory of Everything?
