Hmmmmm .... thats a really tough one Lakshya.
The Theory of Everything, on this forum, is probably best described as the theory that would unite the four known forces. The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force. In effect, such a theory would describe all physical aspects of our universe.
As these four forces 'transmit' or 'exert' their influence through fields, a Unified Field Theory would unite these four fields into a single field.
So far there is no Unified Field Theory, nor a Theory of Everything.
I don't know what sort of mathamatical explanation you require for the above?
The 'Quantum Gap' is something I know very little of, or even if I am talking about the same gap as you.
Quantum mechanics can be used to determine the 'efficiency' of the way light interacts with matter. This efficiency is never reached in experimental practice, in fact not even close.
Why? Nobody knows. However this gap between 'desirable' and 'achievable' is not a fault of QM. QM will only be at fault if the efficiency predicted by QM is surpassed. So far the shortfall in efficiency is being slowly but surely bridged by physicists making better and better compounds.
But QM says nothing at all about this gap. It simply says that the limit QM sets can never be surpassed, nothing about why we can't seem to get close to the limit
Should it be surpassed QM will have been demonstrably proven wrong.
The great achievements of bridging this gap will result in many benefits to us. The internet will be many times faster as fiber optics improve the data bandwidth for example. Or say, spectacles, for people with vision defects, will be able to pass more light through the lenses. Movies will be more realistic.
I don't know any formulas for these calculations.
Lakshya, you must be developing an interesting theory if you are combining a Unified Field and the Quantum Gap.
best of luck ... greg
