I had a long flight today so had time for a bit of thinking and here's the result. Which I am submitting to you for peer review before I send it off to be published and collect my Nobel prise.
Highlander or H Theory.
The ideal solution to a problem is the most elegant one, many philosophical and logical devices like Occam's Razor support this. Simplicity is a beautiful thing, any fool can solve a problem in a complex manner but it takes an artist to solve one simply. The more we unify the equations from the different fields of physics the more we can describe greater proportions of the universe with progressively less and simpler equations.
In 1861 when Maxwell's unified the forces of electricity and magnetism to form electromagnetism a force that could be fully explained in a set of four simple equations, physics suddenly leached propelled by this new perspective. Imagine ... all things to do with either electricity or magnetism could be expressed in just four equations. It was wonderful but unfortunately physics has been moving in the wrong direction of late and there are now 'loads' of equations for 'everything'.
I feel the sciences tendency to a top down approach is directly responsible for this unwanted complexity and will now steer science correctly back to its correct direction. The direction of explaining as many things as possible using as fewer rules as possible. In this bottom up approach we just have to find the simplest solution that fits all problems and this must be the ultimate unification equation. Because the unification equation is just one of all possible equations.
Lets start with:
x = 1/y
This may seem like a random place to start but as will be proved later the initial equation is irrelevant. This is a fairly simple and elegant equation you might say, now I think this is made unnecessarily complex by containing a 'y' in a small jump from traditional maths lets simplify it to:
x = 1/x
Now the solution to this is x = 1
Or even more simply put 1 = 1, now we can even further simplify this by getting rid of the unnecessary equals sign and one of the 1's.
1
Any equation when fully computed can be expressed in terms of 1, so the initial starting point is completely irrelevant. For example we will use Newtons 2nd law of motion - Force (F) = Mass (M) x Acceleration (A).
If the car has a mass of 700kg and a driver pushes the car with an acceleration of 0.05m/s/s
Then:
F = MA
F = 700kg x 0.05m/s/s
F = 35kN (kiloNewtons)
Now simply divide both sides by 35kN and you get:
F/35kN = 1
or more simply put 1 = 1 or 1.
Now some of the intermediate solutions to equations can be useful for things like sending spacecraft to the furthest reaches or our solar system or building computers. So these other fields of physics should continue, hopefully reinvigorated by a new directions and knowing where all their equations will ultimately lead them.
Now no scientific theory is worth its salt unless it can be used to make some predictions, so here are mine.
There is one universe.
Every particle in the universe is unique.
NB Notice how this theory works on both the galactic and atomic levels.
