Load Minimization Theory (LMT) proposes that every system naturally seeks minimal total load expressed as L = U + F + E + ℛ. Trying to unify the four fundamental forces into a single equation is like attempting to put a broken egg back together — an act that goes against the arrow of time. In a previous paper, we reinterpreted M-theory’s eleven dimensions as phases of a single load-minimizing vib…

Mathematician Stephen Wolfram has attempted to develop a theory of everything using hypergraphs, which are essentially sets of graphs that can describe space-time. Recently, another mathematician named Jonathan Gorard has used hypergraphs to describe what happens if a black hole accretes matter. He claims that evidence for hypergraphs should be observable in the energy that is emitted during the

When Scientific American writes that physicists are working on a theory of everything, does it sound ambitious enough to you? Do you lie awake at night thinking that a theory of everything should be able to explain, well, everything? What if … Continue reading →
