How does this have anything to do with the fact matter isn't primarily composed of leptons, as you implied? You're trying to avoid facing up to a mistake by trying to change the subject.Please explain to me what a lepton is composed of. No one knows.
You should look up deep inelastic scattering experiments, quark-gluon plasma experiments and W-W decay phenomena. All of which support the quark model, which successfully predicted the outcomes of all hadron based experiments at places like Fermilab and now the LHC.Present empirical evidence that up and down quarks exist. Oh, how 'bout that? There's that convenient thing name color confinement. Guess I never have to show that data.
Open a physics book. Obviously you're not as up to speed as you might think.Provide me a model that proves how something has both wave and particle qualities.
Is this your approach? You don't understand something so therefore no one else does and you're allowed to just make nonsense claims without evidence? Entanglement can be understood, at least on a basic working level, without too much effort, ie the material taught to undergrads is enough. Its not my job to teach you the entirety of a physics degree, if you were the whiz you claim to be you'd not be asking the sort of questions you are.Explain nonlocality.
Virtual photons are not 'Bohrian'. And besides, just because you don't like a concept doesn't mean its not a valid explanation, your attitudes do not define how the universe works.Explain why an electron does not collapse into a nucleus. And please, no Bohrian edicts, "The electron shall not collapse." and no "virtual photons" popping into existence.
Simply making up stuff on subjects you don't understand doesn't 'solve' anything.I like throwing around ideas. But, more than that, I like solving problems that are unsolved.
Speaking as someone with a 'theoretical physics' qualification I can confidently say you're not a 'theoretician'. There's more to doing theoretical physics than just making stuff up randomly, which you'd know if you had looked at what science involves. Instead you proclaim yourself a 'solver of problems' and a theoretician when you haven't the first clue what scientists actually do. Its ironic you claim you're competent at so many things when in fact you don't even understand the principles science uses.If the members of this forum like to entertain and coddle old, antiquated, falsified theories, models, and worldviews, that's not what the goal of a theoretician is.
Please provide one example of a real world phenomenon which isn't understood properly by mainstream science for which you have provided a working accurate model for, along with derivation of said model. If you can't then my comment about you having solved nothing is entirely justified.In this regard, the claim of "the final nail" is wholly incompatible based upon what I have written here.
You read all the thread carefully?
that's exactly what I was thinking about when I read the title of this thread.You do realize that S. Hawking thinks there's no "theory of Everything" don't you?

wtf do you mean by that?Yes, I am aware. He also claims that I do not exist.
Claims are nice. Proof is better.
Peace,

No. Not like that. I don't care who you are, how many PhDs you have, which university you work for, or whatever. It doesn't even worry me if you're lying about all that.
What I'm (vaguely) interested in is whether your theory of everything actually has any science in it. And right now, it sounds to me like it's little more than a self-congratulatory ego trip that is worth nothing to anybody else.
A "Theory of Everything" couldn't technically be created by one man or woman alone, such a theory would be the "rebinding" of many other distinct theories discovered by many other people on the way into "A Grand Theory", however a grand theory is like a house of cards, if one card proves to be just a little out, it will mean the whole house collapsing and require rebuilding.
The purpose of introducing a theory is to narrow down the possibilities to precisely those which are, in fact, realized by nature. A perfect theory will thus be like a total dictatorship, where everything that is not forbidden is compulsory. ~Dennis W. Sciama
The ultimate theory should take the form that it does because it is the unique explanatory framework capable of describing the universe without running up against any internal inconsistencies or logical absurdities. Such a theory would declare that things are the way they are because they have to be that way. ~Brian Greene (his italics)
The goal of the ultimate theory – that is, the complete and consistent theory of the Universe – is to synthesize all of the available empirical evidence that has been collected over the history of humankind into one simple and clear framework.
In short, the ultimate theory would account for and unify all of the ideas, facts, and models that have emerged through the three major manifestations of ideation: science, philosophy, and religion. The ultimate theory would be expected to resolve all enigmas, paradoxes, anomalies, and arguments in those disciplines.
There may be a reader that considers the ultimate theory an out-and-out impossibility. So be it, but I welcome that reader to consider an exercise on what is and is not possible, here. Moreover, if the ultimate theory is, indeed, impossible, then, by the virtue of such a grand claim, the reader must grant that the entire intellectual exercise is a delusion.
I always find that when I engage someone on an internet forum I treat them with humility, dignity, and respect.
... I have only one goal: World Peace.
Do tell, why couldn't a theory be constructed by one person?
As far as I can tell - throughout the history of humankind - one person has constructed every major theory that has ever existed. Sure, I will grant that many people contributed the empirical evidence, but ultimately, in the end, it is generally one person (and is some cases, two independent thinkers) who comes to the idea.
I guess you can say that old theories are much like old programs, when a new OS comes along for the most part the programmers try to maintain a "Legacy" compatibility so that the old programs run on the new machines.
In Physics and Philosophy this is also true, the old "tested" theories are "Legacy" to any new one, if the new ones can't handle the old theories correctly then they are assumed to be tested as "false".
In the instance of your own theories you will find that you quote many writers, scholars, playwrights and philosophers, to suggest that any thought or theory you have is "absolutely unique" would have required you to have no input from the outside world.
(As for why two people can come to the same conclusion miles away, it's something that initially was observed as a(link redacted), but apparently unsubstantiated and likely moved towards pseudoscience due to it's "Parapsychology" experiment type.
However even with the Hundredth Monkey ruled out, The Copenhagen Interpretation gives an interesting hypothesis if such a phenomenon occurred. After all if the universe was to be shaped largely by some event and that event starter didn't get up and do the initial action to gain the attention, the universe would suffer a huge change, what is more likely is that one of those that observed the initial idea would cryptographically recompile that idea from the other universe and bring it back into reality. This generates certain changes in regards to power/wealth distribution and "alters an entire branch" of peoples ancestral trees. (Some christians will be spouting "end of days" over it due to the whole "tree of life" trimming and burden of forbidden [stealing someone else's idea] fruits)
It is true that widely accepted ideas are never the personal property of their so-called author; on the contrary, he is the bond-servant of his ideas. Impressive ideas which are hailed as truths have something peculiar to themselves. Although they have come into being at a definite time, they are and have always been timeless; they arise from that realm of procreative, psychic life out of which the ephemeral mind of the single human being grows like a plant that blossoms, bears fruit and seed, and then withers and dies. Ideas spring from a source that is not contained within one man’s personal life. We do not create them; they create us. ~Carl Jung
How come most posts are bandwagon replies discrediting IK did you guys even read the material? Some people just have no lives...
Rhetorical or not, you've made no viable attempt to address any of the questions you ask. If you meant them to be rhetorical then your reason for bringing them up was along the lines of "There's lots of questions which might not presently be answered", as if what you're doing is an attempt at answering them.@AlphaNumeric: My list of empirical puzzles before was not meant to be a solicitation for responses; nor was it meant to be combative; it was meant to be rhetorical. Alas, symbols on a page do not always convey the sincerity or emotion of the writer.
But he knows what the point of the economy is. He is familiar with the point of it, the way people interact with it, the way finance is done, the sorts of people who do it, the methods by which they go about doing their jobs. You appear not to know those things about science, you don't know how its done or the sort of things expected of a good scientist.As to whether I have an understanding of core concepts or not and as to the confidence one has about that understanding, I would submit that Ben Bernanke is 100% confident that he can control the economy.
Your claims about yourself don't show any humility, so saying others should show some is a touch hypocritical, given you can't present any reason for anyone to think you live up to your claims.So, being a member of the scientific community and a member of the world community, I always find that when I engage someone on an internet forum I treat them with humility, dignity
Pretty much everyone wants world peace but if you think you're capable of achieving it through your own works then you are being egotistical. Feel free to explain how you plan to achieve it.As for whether this is an ego trip: far from it. I have only one goal: World Peace.
I don't agree with this. What makes a theory scientific falsifiable (in the philosophy of science) isn't that it sometimes definitely gets the wrong answer, but rather that there is actually is a notion of a wrong answer. Falsifiability is (very crudely) just testable predictions, where the test part means that you have a notion of failure.Anyhoo, getting back to theory. One thing that I struggle with is that in compiling Unity, I have discovered - much to my chagrin, mind you - that it is unfalsifiable. Now, this is a problem because it does not fit the standard concept of what a scientific model should be. However, I would point out that the final theory - that is, the correct model of the Universe - must be, by definition unfalsifiable. In other words, it must be correct. If it weren't unfalsifiable, it could never be true.
Being unfalsifiable means that any experiment performed now will yield results that are either predicted by or explained by the theory. Being unfalsifiable means that all evidence necessarily and indubitibly fits the model. Being unfalsifiable is a problem, you see, as the model can never be proven wrong. It is always correct.
