Fredrick said:We already have all information required to create a TOE, yet it is the structure in which we place this information that is not correct. In this TOE unification is not possible, but links between forces are possible. In stead of a unified field of forces there would be a platform of forces.
In Search of a Cyclops delivers mathematical evidence that unification is not possible by showing that separation is fundamental in our universe. This is delivered through zero as part of the fundaments of integers (its use is required to explain certain steps of prime number structures found within the positive integers).
Unification can exist without a problem in religion (Christian, Jewish, Muslim), but it does not exist in the materialized universe.
All material in our universe is moving outwardly from the location we call the Big Bang. It is possible to infer this information back as deriving from a single spot, yet is it also possible to infer this information as deriving from a large area. Very similar to the toy one can buy in stores today - a round mobile that one can manually expand and contract. While the universe is expanding it does not necessarily mean that it came out of a single spot, it could have come out of a larger area. The absolute center of the Big Bang may have even remained empty.

Discuss the possibilities of the existence of a Creator and how the Creator may be included in a Theory of Everything.
Religious Viewpoints
Perspectives from various religions and how they might impact the Theory of Everything.
Afterlife
With numerous reports of life after death or near death experiences, how can these be explained. Whether biological or metaphysical in nature, the possibility of an afterlife must be explored and encompassed by the Theory of Everything if necessary.
General Discussion
If there is more to reality than our everyday experience--a world beyond, another dimension, heaven, astral plane--then it must be explained in a Theory of Everything.
Poll on the site... HOW IS RELIGON BEING DRAGGED INTO THISFredrick said:The quest to understand everything is a very old quest. In the old days the ones proposing explanations for everything were scientists/priests. Then and now the platforms of religion are diverse, but in general can be divided into four platforms:
A: a single god
B: multiple gods
C: no god
D: one cannot know about god with certainty.
Since the Renaissance scientists/priests became either more science- or more religion based, and today we see a clear distinction between the two. To explain everything in science we do not have four, but only two platforms available.
A: a unified field of forces
B: a field of forces (with connections but not unified).
As you can see there is a clear connection between the A's and the B's as the distinction between one version in which everything can be brought back to a single principle, and the other version in which multiple principles exist at the same time.
Platforms C and D do not exist in science. It would be weird to say that the four forces do not exist, and it would be weird to say that one cannot know anything about the four forces with certainty.
And this is where we are today. Most attention in the search for a theory of everything has been placed in an A-platform. There is hardly any discussion about a theory of everything existing on a B-platform. It doesn't mean everyone is behind the idea of the unified field: far from it. But somehow people are afraid to speak out against the A-platform.
What do you think? Are both A and B possible? Only A, only B? Take the poll and tell us what you think.

Can anyone explain to me why a TOE would have anyting remotly to do with afterlife or incorparting any of the other stuff... or am I just being judgmental

The TOE Dilemma, also known as the Theory of Everything Dilemma, refers to the challenge of unifying the fundamental forces of the universe into a single, coherent theory. This includes understanding the relationship between gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
Unification is important because it allows us to understand the underlying principles and laws that govern our universe. By finding a unified theory, we can better explain and predict the behavior of the physical world, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies.
Currently, scientists are still working on various theories and models in an attempt to find a unified theory. Some promising theories include string theory, loop quantum gravity, and supersymmetry. However, there is no consensus yet on which theory is the correct one.
One of the main challenges in finding a unified theory is that the fundamental forces of the universe operate at vastly different scales. Gravity, for example, operates on a large scale, while the strong and weak nuclear forces operate on a much smaller scale. Additionally, the laws and principles that govern each force are vastly different, making it difficult to find a common framework to unify them.
A unified theory would have a significant impact on our understanding of the universe. It would allow us to explain and predict phenomena that are currently unexplainable, such as the behavior of black holes and the origins of the universe. It would also pave the way for new technologies and advancements in science and technology.
