Hello, my name is Pro

[protheory]

1. Where are you from.

Hello everybody, my name is Pro and I'm from England

2. How did you locate the website.

I found this website through a search for "theory of everything" on Ask Jeeves.

3. What got you interested in the Theory of Everything.

I've long been interested in the finer points of reality, the answers to everything, and what's really out there. The first time I discovered the concept of a TOE was when I read Stephen Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time" and since then I've been writing my own ideas which eventually became my website.

4. Do you have a unique perspective?

I am reluctant to claim that my perspective is "unique" so to speak but I certainly think that my ideas are somewhat different.

5. Where did you go to school and what did you study.

I am educated to English A Level standard (English Literature, General Studies, and History) and the rest of my knowledge I taught myself since I left full time education. I've toyed with the idea of going back into full time education again but so far I am undecided whether to return or not.

6. What areas are you most familiar with or interested in.

I am most familiar with theoretical physics, cosmology, particles, the nature of the universe, and I have written about my particular interests on my website.

Aside from physics, I love philosophy, dance, history, psychology, positive thinking/self hypnosis, mechanics, and higher math.

7. Have you written any books or publications?

I have written a website which discusses the concept of a TOE and puts forward some of my own ideas about this concept. I have also included my ideas concerning the Clay Mathematics Institute's "Millennium Problems."

8. What past influences have shaped your opinion of our world and its greater reality. This might be family, culture, education, various leaders, scientists, religion, personal experience, etc.

My past influences are my upbringing as a child which involved a lot of religious doctrine, my heroes are Einstein and Newton among many others.

9. If you have a website that could be helpful in our TOE quest, you are welcome to summarize and provide a link.

I have written some of my ideas concerning the TOE at the URL www.protheory.com


10. If you're an author of a book or publication that could be helpful, you're welcome to provide that information as well.

About me as a person

I'm not too sure what to say about myself really but I'll try to give you some introductory information here as my home page doesn't explain much of my actual everyday self.

I like to think and learn more than anything but I try to keep an open mind, I love people and solitude in equal measure, and I love to debate/discuss things with others whenever possible.

I believe in trying to be more positive through learning and effort, I try not to judge others and I hope that others will try not to judge me.


My interests and hobbies

I love to dance, both in clubs and on the street. I'm still learning having become interested in all kinds of dance and physical expression roughly three years ago now.

I've studied and trained in Wing Chun Kung Fu for about seven or eight years but now I tend to concentrate on self defence rather than any specific "style" or forms of martial art.

There's loads more that I could say but I'll leave it there for now as this is already quite a long post for my first time here.

I look forward to many interesting and open minded discussions in the future.

Pleased to meet you all.

Welcome PRO!

As you will be able to realize by yourself, this website will give you the opportunity to present your ideas with respect to the T.O.E. and its probable existence. One thing good about yourself is that you consider yourself an "open minded" individual... That's important and it will help you to accept easier a bunch of weird concepts that "hang around" in some latest literature about physics in general. Accepting does not mean concording with them... Is that clear to you? I hope so too.

Confrontations are frequent here... some members are more "agresive" than others in exposing their emotions, but hey! people get emotional in things that they believe and respect, right?

My regards and best wishes:

HUMANBYDEFAULT

Thanks for the kind welcome humanbydefault I appreciate it

I plan to present my own ideas to my fellow thinkers on this board but I am new here so out of politeness I will wait until such time as I feel comfortable enough to post my own topic about my ideas.

I consider myself open minded definitely and you're right, there are lots of confusing and strange concepts hanging around within the current world of physics, with which I am familiar.

And accepting doesn't mean that I am in agreement with these other ideas, I am quite clear about that as my own website shows hopefully.

I become emotional about my ideas too as I'm sure many others do but in my opinion emotional arguments tend to confuse the higher purpose or pure and objective thought.

Please don't think that I am somehow criticising anybody here, I am merely stating what I believe with regards to a TOE and physics in general.

I personally believe that if any argument is actually as good as it claims to be then it should have no need to be discussed emotionally as it should be able to speak for itself without the need for aggression or anger to back it up.

I think a similar thing with regards to the TOE too, if a person writes a TOE it should be able to instantly explain all other theories without exception, it should have no immediate need of "A deeper explanatory base" under which umbrella term I think emotional arguments come under.

If a TOE is really the ultimate TOE it should be able to speak for itself and prove itself in ALL circumstances.

Once again, I thank you for the introduction and greetings.

I am pleased to meet you

PRO.
