Many people have different views as to what the "TOE" should reveal. My endeavors into this concept has lead me to doubt the sincerity of the scientist charged with finding the solutions. I can offer some of the observations and conclusions I've come to over the last 40 years that may provide the answers some of you are looking for. The following comments will give an idea as to where I stand in the debates.

Theoretical physics has advanced to a phase that seems to indicate a truly unbelievable universe. Can it be that the right side of our brain is unable to comprehend the complexities of nature and form a logical perception of reality? Does the ability to understand existence lie only in the few with the remarkable ability to jump beyond the confines of reality and into multiple dimensions. Is this leading to what some believe, that science is becoming another religion with its authorities of the word.
The mainstream media and even several reputable science journals expend time and text to the oddities of our most comprehensive gauge theories and very little to the true functionality of these theories. More time is exhausted promoting concepts of “Time Travel”, “Multiple Universes”, and several other improbable realities extracted from “Relativity” and “Quantum Physics” rather than emphasizing the applications and successes of these theories. The general population usually obtains their information from mainstream media and of course, TV. This results in some people being awed by the science and others who believe scientist must be absolute intellectual morons.
Modern theories are not so much perceptual concepts today as they are mathematical gauge theories. Thus, mathematically, science has combined the four forces of nature using these gauge theories. However, each of these theories has encountered phenomena that irritate the right side of the brain – They challenge logic. Some scientist sooth this irritation by dismissing the phenomena and becoming content that “if the mathematics work, it does not make a difference what is real” – inappropriately referred to as “Positivism”. Is reality as complex and abstract as the mathematics seem to indicate? Are there physical dimensions that exist beyond the known three dimensions of our universe? Science requires a perceptual paradigm of reality that explains the universe in absolute fundamental concepts that do not border the realms of metaphysics and religion.
