Grand Unification Theory (GUT)

The famous book "A Brief history of time" by Stephen Hawkins mentions About the Grand Unification Theory. It is the theory which aims to unite all the formed postulates, theories, corollaries and inferences of various scientific experiments formed so far in the history of the World. This theory aims to give a common reason for all the discoveries made so far thus aiming at a one big theory that can explain to us Why and How the Universe was born, its purpose and some possible explanations of its future. As you would notice as you go deeper into science of space, there is gap beyond which you don’t have observations (illustrated deeply in my first post imagination and limitation.This gap gives birth to philosophy where the key element to our inferences is imagination. GUT aims at discovery of the reason for our existence. It tries to encompass the Newtonian laws and the Quantum world. It is that theory which will create the bridge between the macroscopic world and the Microscopic world.

So far we have failed to create such a theory but the search for it never ends. If you study the happenings of the world and correlate them to such a theory, you would be surprised to find that each event might give clue to the existence of such a theory. You may find patterns all round this history which lead to some possible explanation or the other. Now to look at the GUT my other post Probabilistic World is just another way. In terms of Computer Science Testing I can describe the former approach (scientific one) as the White Box testing and the philosophical approach (read the post "Probabilistic World") as the Block Box testing. People have formulated different approaches to the same but still the common point or the exact term in science "The missing link" (one of the archaeopteryx style) is yet to be found.

In my forthcoming posts I will be writing about the certain clues that seem to be leading to the GUT.
Some examples are cited below:

Mathematical Approach (Number Theory)-Golden Ratio, Phi, Fibonacci Series

Geometrical Approach-Sacred Geometry

Religionist Approach -The lessons from each religion.

Scientific Approach -Era of theories and corollaries.

GUT now is approachable from many directions by mankind.

"Vivid and flawless Life" but headed by probability.

"Brilliance” yet abstracted from us its complexity.

The reason that we see and the reasons we don’t,
Randomness we see and yet there are patterns.
Hence the name "randomness is almighty".

And wondering from this point if view, we have the GUT itself. GUT is thus aimed in different ways and each way is given a different name. Do you see the pattern of diversity born from it self right here?

(Keep reading for some interesting stuff that I will be posting and that will give you further insight into the GUT.)

It is quite interesting to know that there is a possibility of uniting the various theories in science to establish a new theory that actually gives us the reason for our existence.But at the same time it should also require a lot of mental constructs and as we know science doesnt accept anthing unless its proved emperically.How is GUT supposed to deal with that??
Will keep checking your blogs for futher explanation on this matter.

Hi,

As i have mentioned the line beyond our observation is outlined by philosophy.Although it might not be possible to empiricaly to prove it(Many science experiments like the electrons revolving around protons in an atom do not have empirical evidence).Also evidence itself becomes subjective when it comes to our universe.So the only way to get to a GUT might not be just scientific theories.I will soon post at the classifications that i have put on the article which will give you further insight.

HEY QIUTE AN INTERESTING TOPIC TO DEAL WITH. LOOKING FORWARD FOR YOUR POSTS ON "MATHEMATICAL APPROACH AND GEOMETRY".

Hi Appu,

Yes Mathematical and Geometrical analysis..i am working on it and the geometrical method as i have mentioned is related to the mathematical model in a different dimension.will post it shortly.
