[Book of May] The Theory of Everything

A lot of theories of everything - that is the state of science in these modern times. There is a classical theory of physics describing the motion of macroscopic objects like you, me and the millions of cars buzzing around us. 

And there is a quantum theory that cuts the atoms into pieces million million (for exact measurement check out here) times smaller until it starts behaving like strings in a space where more than four dimensions are compressed in their wavy dance!

There are a few theories out there that are trying to explain the creation of universe. Ever since Edwin Hubble observed that universe is expanding the scientists, physicists, astronomers and almost everybody else is talking about the Big Bang.

There is almost a theory of everything. A theory goes that our universe is like a soap bubble in a bath of soap bubbles - a multiverse. The number of universes in a multiverse are infinite. Is the multiverse itself infinite?

In this infinite universe there is a third rock from the sun wherein on one of landmasses floating on molten core I have purchased a few square meter of land. And I know one day I'll die leaving all the stuff I care - temporality and infinity existing together.

"Ordinary" matter - all the stuff we own including our body, my house, the money in the account, friends & family, the Earth, Sun, Moon, Pluto, Titan, Europa, Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, our universe etc. make up just 4% of the universe!

About 23% is a mysterious thing called Dark Matter - invisible yet pushing the galaxies apart from each other despite the massive gravitational attraction. Then there is something even more mysterious - Dark Energy.

It just gets darker and darker, beyond the imagination except of the selective few who boldly go where no one has gone before. Despite the best efforts and US $10 B Hadron Collider the dark side of the universe remains ever elusive.

As humans progress slowly on the time scale of the universe we've managed to unravel a few mysteries of nature and formed a few theories to prevent our minds from going crazy. 

The quality that would help us survive in this infinite universe is humility; realizing our pale blue dot is slowly rotating around a giant ball of fire, surrounded by roaring black holes and bursts of energy millions of times stronger than our biggest explosions.

So there may be a theory of everything or it may just be a mirage as we don't know if we know everything to form a Theory of Everything. So to all the curious minds out there who want to know a bit of something from everything - try out this book.
