Eric Weinstein: How Not to Formulate a Theory of Everything
<p>One of the ultimate aims of theoretical physics is to arrive at a simple and consistent set of physical laws describing the universe. While this may seem to be a fanciful wish, the history of physics is one of the successive revolutions of simplification. For instance, Newton’s laws summarize classical mechanics into three simple principles, Maxwell’s equations unify electricity and magnetism, and Schrodinger’s equation encapsulates the wave-nature of quantum physics, to name but a few examples. The past century saw two further great strides in simplification through the advent of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, combining the principles of relativity with gravitation, and Quantum Field Theory, combining the principles of relativity with quantum mechanics. What has remained fairly elusive however is how to combine General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory together in a satisfactory and consistent way. </p>
