Requirements for a theory of everything

[Johnny]

This is a good point. Strands and strings are very small in certain directions and very long in others. Can they be observed? Schiller males the point that the whole universe is made of one single strand that criss-crosses space in all directions. Is that a serious model? I do not know. But with the large dimensions one can ensure that the strands can be observed. On the other hand, the short dimension cannot be detected. Observations would just allow to say that something is there, and it is smaller than can be measured. Is that permissible in a TOE? I am not sure.

Don't do it. stay in the U.S of A. don't leave your homeland and go all the way to some strange, unknown place just to be with some guy. stay here.

I absolutely agree TOE is a collection of non-theoretical statements and supporting simple mathematics. When these statements totally enclose TOE, they will describe the physical properties of TOE. They will not define the source or creation of TOE. Rather, they will describe the rules, the properties, that the source of TOE must have at its very core.

Hi Soar Alone, and welcome to ToeQuest... I see you've a bit of time experience here in our world__1953 grad... Hope you enjoy your visit, or stay, whichever it may be...

Anyway again,
Welcome

Give me an example of what you would call a feedback loop.

found another good example

DNA is a nice MODEL, to apply to how the universe would be structured.
IMHO

The diagram below (see also Fig. 4.) pictures, in simplest terms, the principle of recursion of genomic function. Here we see the cardinal role of the main path of recursive processes play in the construction of protein systems:

DNA>RNA>PROTEIN>DNA>RNA>PROTEIN >DNA> ...

These recursive feedback processes then snowball into evolving (protein) structures, governed by DNA.

i.e. we can learn about how the universe evolves by understanding the role of JUNK DNA which comprises 95+% of DNA.
And in the same way we will understand the universe more when we understand the role of all the dark matter and dark energy that comprises about 95% of the universe.

PLAY the association game.
Alchemists and the ancients who lacked micro-scopes and tele-scopes ALL played the association game, using naked eye observations and intuitive clout, matching up the similar processes found in nature, arriving at some wisdom about the cosmos, that alludes us.

would it resemble an algorithm?

A perfect equation: the balanced distribution of nothing's sum.

[WHY 137?]

I was told infinity cannot exist without boundaries and boundaries cannot exist without infinity...

Can we agree any potential TOE would need a 'feedback loop' of some kind?

namaste

Ouch. I don't think that makes sense but maybe it is just me . There probably is some specific logic used to come to such odd boundaries. That logic might be included in the feedback loop.

I found the radio clip where I heard that proposed.
Nassim Haramein was the author.

Go to approximately 23:00 minutes for an explanation.

I found Frank's posted list pretty good. I can't read everything here, but wondered whether this list would satisfy most physicists. If a theory meets these specs then would it be a plausible candidate? Are there any glaring ommisions?
