My TOE that isn't and is.

[sillysally]

Isn't possible for anyone to ever come up with a TOE. First of all there is entirely too much happening in the universe for anyone to comprehend. How can anyone on earth understand something that doesn't pertain to them? I think it's extremely egotistical for a person to actually believe they comprehend the most magnificent wonders ever.

Yeah it's fun to try to think we know it all, but we don't. Who do we think we are kidding? We are all lying to ourselves when we delve into scopes that are beyond living reality.

Is[/ possible for a TOE to be contained within the realms of our little bubble. So why doesn't anyone try to figure out things within our reach like life, time, dirt, death and make a TOE out of that. We have to have everything to understand these things here because we experience it here. We don't experience stars being born or black holes or what ever the heck else is out there.

I think a TOE will start and end with what we have on earth. That's as far as we can go. There has to be a reason why we can't get past the earth's atmosphere and I think that reason is because it's not necessary to life. What's out there is beyond life and it's not death out there either. It's not living or dead and that is something impossible to explain let alone comprehend.

The Toe of dirt is that some stuff became crumbled up and decayed and compressed.

The TOE is that Nothing could not be and so there there had to be 'something'.

This 'something' is rather nebulous, not because we can't get a grasp on it, but because that it what it has to be, that being exactly what it is—since there was nothing before it to reason it or order it forth with any design or definition.

Actually it should be the TODE, theory of dirt everything. The great thing about heading this direction is that we can all agree.

I am currently working on the TOTE, theory of threading everything (everything being only my eyebrows). I haven't masted the right side as well as the left side but that's because I am right handed. However I think I will be proficient when I try it on someone other than myself. The TOTE will then be complete.

I believe that the T.O.E. is going to prove incredibly simple in the end. We are all part of it, and we cannot see it, because we are all looking in the wrong direction, looking outward from our own single focus, instead of seeing ourselves from beyond ourselves, as one little spark of light in the great potential of an illuminated and potenially illuminating collaboration.

I think it's good to explore, but that's about as far as it can go. Maybe limit the TOE to the Solar System.

I think you are right LW, as long as it's kept simple it should be simple. TOE implies so much and there should be a limit as to where to stop if anyone wants to actually understand something. Everyone just jumps straight into how the universe supposedly began and assume that's going to explain everything. Iiii don't think so.
