In an effort to stay within the bounds set by both Wisp and Christian (feeble though it may be), please allow me to “remove my sock” so the world can “smell my TOE”.
Jeff’s TOE Theory:
1. Time: in its natural sense. (i.e.: cause proceeds effect, order precede disorder, etc... however, there may be ways around this rule.)
2. If space had two dimensions, your digestive tract would cut you in half. (Does anyone hear Anthropic Principle?) More than three dimensions.?.?.?. my geometry skills inadequate to compute this.
3. Matter= condensed ether (primordial substance) created at Big Bang. Initial temperature variations detected in COBE satellite images are result of density variations, which would have produced ether stretching (gravity), which would have served to further condense ether into matter.
4. A. Beginning: Initial release of energy (by what/Whom?), Singularity= Zero density gradient, therefore- Zero gravity to resist Big Bang! . B. End: Further condensation=more gravity= expansion= Big Freeze C. Everything requires a source, doesn’t it?
5. There is a soul.
Well, there it is. My very own “Universe in a Nutshell”, as Dr. Hawking would say, in EXACTLY 100 words. (If you leave out everything in parentheses.) I hope this fills everyone requirements. But, if you use these ideas to win the Nobel Prize, I might require co-authorship and some form of monetary compensation for my efforts.
Everyone keep striving for the elusive TOE! One day we will all grasp “the mind of God”.
