Theory of Everything

String Theory is a solid contender for best ToE. It is widely regarded by the scientific community as the most holistic attempt to define our Universe, uniting the four fundamental forces, while accounting for both classical and quantum physics. I will first provide a few comments regarding String Theory before delving into the specifics of my proposed theory. String Theory states that all matter, at the most basic level, consists of one dimensional strings. What gives this matter different characteristics and behaviors is related to the different frequencies at which these strings vibrate and oscillate. The only question I have regarding the strings themselves is their lack of dimension. How can you have a one dimensional object in three dimensional space? My mind is having a difficult time grasping what a one dimensional object is. Two dimensions I can visualize, but any less than that seems nonsensical. How can such an object be observed? How can it have an affect on anything? Perhaps there is a reasonable explanation for this I am unaware of. Aside from the dimensions, I'm ok with matter being made of strings. Matter is matter, and regardless of it's physical characteristics, it still falls within the "matter" categorization in my theory. The only other major issue I have with String Theory is that it doesn't seem to address the cause or reason for movement. I understand that String Theory mathematically abides by all four fundamental forces (the only theory to do so), but it doesn't explain why the forces do what they do. It doesn't prove to be the cause or genesis of the forces, nor does it convincingly explain why the strings vibrate the way they do. In other words, it doesn't explain the reason for motion; but instead tries to illustrate a type of physical structure that abides by the forces of motion. I admit that I am by no means an expert in String Theory. I've read up on it but don't fully understand it. I could be wrong in my above criticisms, and if I am, please explain in the following rounds. I will now focus on my proposed ToE. I claimed that the Universe can be summarized with a simple equation: Universe = Space + Matter + Fundamental Force of Balance In this round I will discuss Space and Matter, giving me more room to discus the more complicated Force of Balance in the next round. Space is the three dimensional landscape on which the Universe is constructed. By itself, it is void of matter and force, making up an infinite vacuum. No comprehensive definition of the Universe can exist without including space. Without it there would be nothing. There would be nowhere for anything to be. I'm not really sure on how to elaborate on space any further. Many physicists will argue that there is a fourth dimension, time. My excluding of time could be a strong point of contention regarding my theory, but I believe that time is somewhat of an illusion. Time is merely a measure of motion, which can be calculated as a ratio of distance/distance. For example, the earth travels roughly 67,000 miles in one hour. Which means if you are traveling at 50 mph, you are really traveling at 50 miles per 67,000 miles. In other words, time is just a measure of one distance as compared to another. That being said, I don't believe that time is a dimension of space, but instead a measure of movement within that space. Matter is the stuff of the Universe. It takes up space, has observable characteristics, and usually has mass. Every object in the Universe consists of particles of matter. According to physics, the most fundamental particles of matter are the Elementary Particles, consisting of Bosons, Leptons, and Quarks. These quantum building blocks make up the atoms, which make up the Periodic Table of Elements, which makes up every material on Earth, and the observable Universe. There is no question that matter is one of the most fundamental players in the Universe, and therefore, a ToE that does not include matter would be incomplete. As a transition into the next round, where I will outline the Fundamental Force of Balance, I would also like to point out an important characteristic of matter. It would seem that all matter is divided into opposites. There is matter, and anti-matter. There is energy and dark energy (which can be converted to matter according to Einstein's theory). There are protons and electrons. Even the Elementary Particles are paired into opposites ( up quark - down quark, top quark - bottom quark, muon - muon neutrino, etc.). The presence of equal yet opposite particles is paramount in understanding the Fundamental Force of Balance. In the next round I will spend a considerable amount of effort attempting to articulate the third pillar of the Universe. The pillar that governs the movement and interactions between those opposing particles of matter. I refer to it as the Fundamental Force of Balance.
