Efforts to build a
Grand Unified Theory that connects the four forces of nature into a single force also seem to require that nature be supersymmetric.
Superforce--the search for a
Grand Unified Theory of Nature.
The connection between the proper foundations of morality and the ultimate foundation of reality (the form of the Good, God, a
grand unified theory, or whatever) makes no difference to the establishment of the proper foundations of morality or to the drawing out of their implications.
String theory, the current best hope for the
Grand Unified Theory, requires at least ten such dimensions, and having experimental evidence of them would begin to lend some credibility to that theory.
This new paradigm suggests that most of the searchers for a
grand unified theory of physics are failing because they are looking in the wrong place.
Michio's particular specialisation is the "theory of everything", the quest for one
grand unified theory which explains the world and its forces.
In 1977 the American physicist Alan Guth suggested that, from the equations developed for the
Grand Unified Theory (see 1973, Proton Decay), it could be argued that the Universe, in the instants after the big bang, underwent a sudden and exceeding rapid inflation.
