What are we going to do with theory of everything?

Answer 1

The theory of everything wont exactly be what it sounds.

It is supposed to explain the basis of every physical process in nature.

When a new phenomena is discovered ( and it most certainly will be ) that doesnt match this theory, a NEW theory of everything ( improved ) will be needed.

So the cat and mouse game will continue and it is only a matter of words to name theories as about everything.

I dont think physics will come to an end after this particular theory.

The number of questions that our minds can form is infinite as the set of all integers ( just make up bigger math problems ). Since there is a one to one correspondence with questions to answers, the number of answers is infinite as well.

this is the mathematical basis of questions and answers.

the ultimate question i believe is :

what is the fundamental nature of consciousness ?

there are no theories that even remotely address this issue and this problem is evident in the field of quantum theory ( known as the measurement problem ).

Answer 2

Nothing.

Specifically, there is no theory of everything. The term is often used erroneously to describe unification theories of physics like string theories. However, these theories are more or less useless for describing more or less every day phenomena like chemical reactions and life. So they are actually theories of very little - on;y really useful at the beginning of time and in black holes.

So on earth what we will do with them is precisely nothing.

Answer 3

Well, one can hope that it will be a fairly simple and elegant set of equations. (The universe prefers not to do things the hard way.)

Once we understand the basic first causes or underlying principles we can begin to understand the "how" and "why" of the way things work. At that point one can hope that it will lead to a better understanding of things like optics, electricity, and how it all interacts. That should allow us to refine our manufacturing techniques and to better probe deeper mysteries (if there are any left, and there probably will be). Once we understand the fundamentals we might then also be able to understand things like protein folding, and how to correct improperly folded proteins, thus curing diseases. We might also be able to ebtter understand the function of DNA and how it self-replicates, and what cuases errors in replication leading to genetic diseases. Perhaps ew can figure out how to then fix them.

I mean there's lots of potential for positive change in our understanding and application of our understanding. Of course it may also mean the building of more efficient and effective weapons (nuclear, electromagnetic, biological, chemical, etc.). If not used properly, the knowledge of everythign could eventually lead to catastrophe if our understanding and application of ethics does not grow and improve with our understanding. There is a balance between knowledge, power and ethics that must be maintained if the balance of life and society are to be maintained. Too much ethics could stunt innovation due to shrinking away from areas of study that might be deemed "unsafe" or "not worth the risk." Likewise, if we expand our knowledge too quickly we may not apply it ethically and might cause way too many problems. If only a few people hold all the knowledge, they may have the power over the rest of us until the knowledge is shared or obtained through trial and error by the masses. meanwhile ethics might go out the window for those in power due to their possession and not sharing of their acquired knowledge.

So, there should be checks and balances in the system to ensure that our knowledge continues to grow, but the use of that knowledge is for the benefit of all and not for a few, and that it IS used for benefit and not for harm.

So, yeah, there's ethics involved too, not just understanding. But now we're gettign into philosophy and not science, so I'll end.

Answer 4

We'll be able to unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. What we really are discovering though is that the cosmos is much more complicated than we could have ever imagined, and we are still little closer to finding the answer.

Answer 5

live long and prosper the distributive nature of the cosmos at the power of the human race collective knowledge and wisdom power ,,, theorystring reality dimensions, my opinion is to carefully turn theories into reality

Answer 6

Explain the meaning of life.

Answer 7

break all the theories and prove them all wrong

Answer 8

Rebirth Hitler and Himler, leave it to Geroge W. Bush to do this. Oh and Elvis also.

Answer 9

We'll finally be able to prove that everything exists.

Answer 10

Figure everything out.
