The year 4000, humanity has conquered the stars. Humans have successfully colonized our solar system and beyond. The events ensue...??
All romeo''zz of the world are in fierce urgency, to buy "plot on the moon",, isn't it,, A love colonized, Moon, Stars, Solar System,,I wish them a great good luck..
It seems clear that life, atleast as we know it, can exist only in regions of space-time in which three space and one dimension are not curled up small.
Can there really be a unified theory of everything? Or are we just changing a mirage? There seems to be three possibilities:
There really is a complete unified theory,
which we will someday discover if we are smart enough.
There's no ultimate theory of the universe,
just an infinite sequence of theories that describe the universe more and more accurately.
There's no theory of the universe. Events cannot be predicted beyond a certain extent but occur in a random and arbitrary manner.
Some would argue for the third possibility on the grounds that if there were a complete set of laws, that would infringe on God's freedom to change His mind and intervene in the world. It's a bit like the old paradox:
Can God make a stone so heavy that He can't lift it? But the idea that God might want to change His mind is an example of the fallacy. Time is a property only of the universe that God created. Presumably, He knew what He intended when He set it up.
The second possibility, that there's an infinite sequence of more and more refined theories, is in agreement with all our experience so far. On many occasions,
we have increased the sensitivity of our measurements or made a new class of observations only to discover new phenomena that were not predicted by the existing theory. However, the very early stages of the universe are an arena where such energies must have occurred.
What would it mean if we actually did discover the ultimate theory of the universe? It would bring to an end a long and glorious chapter in the history of our struggle to understand the universe. But it would also revolutionize the ordinary person's understanding of the laws that govern the universe. In Newton's time it was possible for an educated person to have a grasp of the whole of human knowledge at least in outline. But ever since then, the pace of development of science has made this possible. Theories were always being changed to account for new observations. They were never properly digested or simplified so that ordinary people could understand them.
You had to be a specialist, and even then you could only hope to have a proper grasp of a small proportion of the scientific theories.
