	Theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For a given body of theory to be considered part of established scientific knowledge, it is usually necessary for it to characterize a critical experiment, namely an experimental result not predicted by any existing established theory.
		Unfortunately, the usage of the term theory is muddled by cases such as string theory and "theories of everything," all of which are better characterized at present as a bundle of competing hypotheses for a protoscience.
		In the humanities, theory is often used as an abbreviation for critical theory or literary theory, referring to continental philosophy's aesthetics or its attempts to understand the structure of society and to conceptualize alternatives.

	Information Headquarters: Theory of everything
		In physics, a theory of everything (TOE) is a theory that unifies the four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and the electromagnetic force, and is the goal of researchers in quantum gravity.
		A theory of everything is needed to explain phenomena such as the big bang or gravitational singularities in which the current theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics break down.
		The primary problem in producing a theory of everything is that quantum mechanics and general relativity have radicially different descriptions of the universe, and the obvious ways of combining the two lead quickly to the renormalization problem in which the theory does not give finite results for experimentally testable quantities.

		The theory says that all energy and particles are made of very small vibrating strings of energy.
		Not to mention we are systems and a complete theory would explain ourselves and you run into the same problem.
		As of right now superstring theory is the best bet, but no one is sure if it is true or not.

	NOVA \| The Elegant Universe \| A Theory of Everything? \| PBS
		String theory adds the new microscopic layer of a vibrating loop to the previously known progression from atoms through protons, neutrons, electrons, and quarks.
		String theory proclaims, for instance, that the observed particle properties—that is, the different masses and other properties of both the fundamental particles and the force particles associated with the four forces of nature (the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity)—are a reflection of the various ways in which a string can vibrate.
		For this reason string theory is sometimes described as possibly being the "theory of everything" (T.O.E.) or the "ultimate" or "final" theory.

	Conversation with Kenneth N. Waltz, p. 2 of 7
		Whether or not a theory is useful is decided by the body of people who find it worthwhile to use the theory or to argue about the theory.
		What a theory does is present a mental picture of a part of the world, and in that picture are identified the major causal factors at work.
		The theory specifies the relations among those, and the necessary relations as they're necessary within the terms of their theory, among those major causal forces, which we often now refer to as variables, (adapting a scientific terminology that's not always useful).

	Big Mystery: A Theory Of Everything
		Now they’re seeking the ultimate prize: a “theory of everything” that could reveal a bizarre realm of interdimensional wormholes and time warps.
		The concept is called “superstring theory,” because theoreticians imagine the core components of the universe as tiny loops of string or membranes vibrating in 10 dimensions.
		Even if the theory turns out to be right, probing the shrunken dimensions would require energies approaching the scale of the big bang — trillions of trillions of times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb.

	Science: Physics: Modern: Theory of Everything - Open Site
		In physics, a theory of everything is a future theory that unifies the four fundamental forces of nature: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and the electromagnetic force and gravity.
		A theory of everything is sometimes called a supergrand unified theory because it is an extension of the grand unified theory which attempts to incorporate only the first three of the above forces.
		A theory of everything is needed to explain the connection between the many different particles and forces that now confront modern physics.

	'Theory of everything' tying researchers up in knots
		The result, they said, would be a grand unifying "theory of everything," which could explain everything from the nature of matter to the Big Bang to the fate of the cosmos.
		That's because string theory is the only existing hypothesis that holds serious promise of merging the two grandest branches of physics -- the theory of gravity, the basis of cosmological theory; and quantum mechanics, the science of the subatomic realm, Schwarz says.
		While the theory is worth developing and is a "very interesting attempt to address the fundamental open problems of physics," he says, "so far it is only an attempt, (one) that has delivered less than what was expected some years ago," and "its uncritical promotion is damaging to science."

		But then, philosophy — at least, serious philosophy — denies the importance of our motivation, speaking in terms of general absolutes and categories that seem to have little to do with why we cared in the first place.
		The primary alternative to such philosophy — the move to the subjective "interior" that characterized Romantic thought in the 19th century, and contemporary "spirituality" today — was, for Rosenzweig, equally unsatisfying.
		Rather, the attempt is to understand what philosophy and religion are really talking about, and to include everything — time, history, war, revolution — in a system of "new thinking" that does justice to each component of our experience.

	Consciousness and the "Theory of Everything"
		Physicists recognize that superstring theory is not intended to be a theory of "Everything" as often characterized in the popular press.
		It is, however, a powerful unifying theory that might explain some very fundamental aspects of our universe in a deeper and potentially far-reaching manner.
		For example, the idea that there are more "dimensions" than the 3-space and 1-time possibly opens the way for consciousness to be included in an expanded theory that accounts for the scientific measurements of precognition and other intuitive realities.

		Not surprisingly, the theory is a radical, “crazy” departure from the past, being based on tiny strings vibrating in 10 dimensional space-time.
		Since string theory is really a theory of Creation, when all its beautiful symmetries were in their full glory, the only way to test it, the critics wail, is to re-create the Big Bang itself, which is impossible.
		The key point is this: if the theory can be solved non- perturbatively using pure mathematics, then it should reduce down at low energies to a theory of ordinary protons, electrons, atoms, and molecules, for which there is ample experimental data.

		While this early string theory explained why it would be impossible to ever isolate individual quarks, it seemed to have no predictive value as a theory, and it required the supposedly 1-dimension string to have multiple dimensions to quantize all the needed properties.

		Wilber adapts the idea behind string theory (the notion that all of physics can be united under a single theory explaining the behavior of matter) to suggest that disciplines as diverse as medicine, economics, and spirituality work in the same way.
		In the final chapter, Wilber reduces his theory to a personal level of "integral transformative practice." Throughout the book, Wilber's prose is conversational in tone.
		It is thus with great disappointment that his latest book, A Theory of Everything, is not living up to its cover's promise--an integral vision for business, politics, science and spirituality.

		String theory is not just a bunch of nerds sitting around talking about strings of plankes length...there are calculations and incredibly complex mathmatics that back up the theory.
		Anyways String theory and M theory are not the Theory of everything.
		String Theory (or a completed one, I must be using the philosophical sense again) can explain everything, and the fact that everything is governed by strings would thus eliminate the possiblity of another force (God, free will, human nature, etc.).
