Extreme scrutiny and skepticism. True science knows no truth, let alone something about everything. We can’t build a theory of everything, so one who claims to have constructed such a theory is assumed wrong. Confirmation bias, disregard/ignorance, and arrogance lead to such theories and often they are obliterated with rational and critical thinking.

Have you read Chris Langans CMTU. He tries to incorporate metaphysical/philosophical theory of everything, a “theory of theories”

Honestly I’m ignorant of those types of works. But they are rich with evidence of human delusion. What’s his premis?

A lot of genius mixed with difficult speech. Read a summary if you get a chance. It almost reads like theology squared, if that’s possible. Lol most of it’s been debunked by science, but impressive nonetheless.

He is the smartest, highest iq in America. Way over my head and has trouble relating to regulars in his writing

Are the writings of Christopher Michael Langan, including his Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), as difficult to read as those of Theodor Adorno, a German philosopher, sociologist and composer?

Middle school science classes have pounded this idea into my head: Nothing in science can be proven. Enough experimentation and research can provide substantial evidence to support a claim, but the claim can never be completely proven, as science is tentative. While the theory of everything is an intriguing concept, I doubt it will ever be discovered. It makes too large of a claim.

So much of applied science is quite reliable. There are some challenging topics for sure, and those take a little time, but using scientific fact gives us many things completely unheard of in the past. Plastics, computers, alloys, and so forth. Quite reliable but took a bit of patience and discovery to get there. And we’ll get there!

Right. But to proclaim understanding of the fundamentals of the fundamentals is beyond human theoretical/brain power at this – or any near – time. Hence my point with this blog. Per usual I’m mostly going for a thought prompt here more than preaching some absolute truth or ideal.

Indeed. It’s claim in nature is beyond the scientific method. It would require superhuman verification and observation methods we can never achieve.

This is why string theory is a hobby more than a serious theoretical ambition for a physicist (in my opinion and assumption).

What does a scientist who found the theory of everything deserve? A nobel Prize would be very nice.

Sure. But it would be posthumous as verification would take quite some time; perhaps forever.

Parabola Critical thinking can prove ‘The Theory of Everything’, but it does have to take Everything into account.
All the clues have been provided like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
After all, we do exist on a little Planet on the outskirts of The Cosmic Milky Way Galaxy.

Right. Taking everything into account requires everything. Humans are far too minuscule to be able to account for everything, so we are bound to our limits.

Thank you for your curiosity. Closed minds will never progress.
I’m human and I’m not bound by your limits just like you’re not bound by mine.
Each has a piece or pieces of Life here’s jigsaw puzzle, we are surrounded by them.
So, there must be Life-Scientists with the Acumen & Ambition to play this Game of CHESS.
