Hello dear soul-mates!
TOE has been my life's quest and I am very happy to find like-minded souls here. I chanced upon this forum while doing my periodic search of TOE on the internet. I was surprised to see an opinion poll on the home page about When the TOE will be solved.
Out of all the choices, mine was for two of them, depending on the mindset. The first choice is obvious from our very quest itself. Everything from now and here, to eternity, Nature has unfolded from Nothing to Everything because of what we call as TOE. TOE was "solved" once upon a time... long long long ago...when time itself was invented. It is the First Original Miracle. That is why we are here.
I browsed through This forum and liked everything. It was like coming home. It discuss every thing most intelligent, knowledgable, educated people discuss. But the stark reality is TOE operates for eternity. It is nature, wilderness and civilization combined, the chaos and cosmos. TOE is operating immanent in everything. We have to read Nature as a single book.
Which we can't because we lack TOE. A paradoxical situation!! So we have to combine all the sciences that we have divided Nature into. It is just a first step. TOE will explain any division or combination of science of Nature that we have chosen(or choose) to make.
The best part of it is basically TOE can be observed in smallest part of Nature that we can conceive of and it can be observed in Vastness too large comprehend (universe, polyverse...) ... things that are yet to be discovered. It is the common factor in everything. Still it is not easy to theorize.
My vision of TOE is it will explain all the Theories, theories that work, that worked, those that didn't work ...all of it. All failures and successes(Not just Astro physics/chemistry, particle physics/chemistry, cosmology..etc which started off the earnest search for TOE in this modern Age). It is not a grandiose vision; it is Total Vision of Nature as it is. That is TOE. TOE will bring about a padigm of paradigm shifts.
The second choice of mine in the Opinion poll is TOE will be discovered/ solved within next 5 years, so far as we humans are concerned.(BTW Nobody has voted for it so far and I had already cast my vote!)
It is like articulation, the power of speech. Humanity is very near to articulating the TOE! Here is wishing us goodluck!
But, the first choice is the best choice!
Nature allways wins
