Re: What If ??? TOE ! - 07-21-2007, 12:58 PM

Patience please Michael, in time...

Meanwhile I think I have come up with some serious questions and remarks concerning TOE. Whenever it comes it will be at first a strange object, that very well is more abstract and general as for instance a stringtheory, because it takes a much broader approach, ideally the broadest possible.

But it will take a paradigmshift in the sense that TOE is looked for elsewhere than in strings, quarks, elementary forces, etcetera. All this has to do with the phenomenon 'emergence' - I've mentioned this before. This world is thus constructed that on every new level of it's complexity, it shows new properties. Therefore finding TOE needs a more all-over approach in stead of the traditional buttom-up approach (explaining everything out of strings for instance). Stringtheory won't explain the ascent of life or even humanity, while TOE-all-over might be more fertile in this respect.

Another problem is the definition of 'everything'. It's a word that very much is paradigm-linked. And a TOE needs to explain that, how it works. Real TOE not only needs to explain physical reality, but also how we think this reality. Real TOE has to do with world and with us thinking world. It has to do with Kant, Hegel and all sciences.
