If some one told you the secret of Unification of 4 energies of Universe would you believe it?

Question

Note = force is energy per unit distance, so Unification would involve Energies?

Answer 1

Of course unification involves energies. That's what it's all about.

I couldn't favor any particular theory without first knowing the detailed background leading to it.

The prime focus of unification is to determine if and at what level the fundamental forces of nature all become derivative manifestations of a single universal force - if that is in fact the reality.

Theories abound.

If a theory cannot yet be tested, the next best thing is to have a good, working, rational reason why you arrived at that theory. That helps separate nonsense from conclusions derived from reasoned logical analysis of the facts.

Obviously anyone can invent a pet theory, but justifying the reasoning behind it is an entirely different matter.

It only takes ONE single exception to a theory or a violation of known scientific facts to disqualify it.

 

Answer 2

Only if it stood up to sound experiment and theory...chances are, if they aren't a physicist by profession, it won't.

Yes, unification involves going to a high enough energy such that all 4 forces (interactions to be more accurate) become one.

Answer 3

As just another average smuck, if the explanation were given in Eisteinian type mathematical formula, I would be totally dependent on the opinions of other physicists as their validity - or I would have to wait for at least a book to be published in layman's terms. You know the one, "Physics For Dummies".

And, yes, energy / mass would be a major player in such a theory.

Answer 4

Absolutely not. I'm not qualified to discern if it is a correct theory and if somebody keeps it quiet instead of announcing it to the world to be disputed, there is something suspicious.
