Well surely do, accountants like everything to balance ( Assets = Liabilities + Equity ) and we do believe in left/right symmetry ( Dr=Cr ).

I thought that is why we have that big plug called dark stuff ( dark matter and dark energy ) to keep everything in balance.

The reason why it's dark is because they are not responding to our instruments for detecting them and they dont appear as real numbers in the accounting. In both GR and QM they appear as imaginary numbers. By the way the biggest imaginary number is infinity itself. Infinity could also be the biggest real prime number.

I kind of view the universe like this:


GRAVITY............................ENERGY
. .
' .
. .
. .
. .
. .
. .
MASS................................RADIATION

With the complementary opposites being diagonal from the other.

[AntonioLao]

what are missing are the other charges: electric, weak, and strong. Note that mass is a gravity charge. I'm working on spacetime charges which are more fundamental than any of them.

I guess I only believe in the EMR ( electro magnetic radiation ) and Gravity. My An Idea has accounted for the strong and weak force really to be part of the EM force and I believe even the standard model says this to be true at the very beginning of the big bang. Also I believe it was Penrose to state that it's impossible to have a singularity. So I'm happy with the 2 forces of EMR and Gravity.

This was Einstein's unfinish works to unite EM and gravity. But modern theorists extended it to 5 (Kaluza-Klein) or even 26 dimensions and then they compromised for 11 dimension theory which became superstring theory. Note time remains 1 dimensional throughout all these.

[Profpat]

Yes many different number of dimensions. I believe in 12 myself ( see F Theory, which includes the null or empty set ) But only 4 known forces which I think can be reduced to two but not one. I believe in Duality ( Yin/Yang ) and Singularity only when these forces unite as One. ( Symbol of the Tao )

In Chinese 'tao' means path. To me it means a direction. For physical reality the maximum number of directions must be eight. If you have all 8 directional properties then you live forever. The hardest direction to turn around is the time direction: the past becomes the future and the future becomes the past.

Well that is really interesting Antonio. The Buddha had his 8 fold path and the I Ching has the 8 original trigrams. HMMMM!!

Thanks for these mystical coincidences. However, I needed some physical coincidences such as 8 gluons and SU(3) gauge symmetry.
