Physicist: Not even close.
One could even make the argument that finding the theory of everything (often called “unified field theory”) is just the start of the real science. The theory of everything (TOE) will finally tie together all of the fundamental forces, describe the behavior of every type of particle, and explain in fine detail how space and time behave in all cases.
We’ve seen unifying theories before (not the unifying theory) and they don’t generally answer questions on their own, but merely provide tools to explain things later on down the line. For example; in several strokes of the quill Newton unified the “make apples fall” force with the “swing planets around” force under the umbrella of “universal gravitation”.
With universal gravitation (which says that gravitational force is: 
What you can’t explain, without buckets of math (and often as not: computer power), are things like phase lock, Lagrange points, and why many galaxies have spiral arms. Even worse, you can’t actually solve problems involving 3 or more objects. You can exactly write down how two objects will orbit each other, but as soon as there are three, the best you can do is approximation. This is called the “three body problem”, and it’s likely to remain unsolvable forever.
The Trojan Asteroids float around in two of Jupiter's Lagrange points. This is completely described by the Law of Universal Gravitation, but it still took a lot of work to figure out what was going on. Image stolen from: http://www.dtm.ciw.edu/users/sheppard/satellites/trojan.html
So, a theory of everything, while it would be able to describe the details of how all forces and particles interact on all levels, would still only be a set of equations. And having the equations is pretty different from having the solutions to those equations, and really different from understanding the implications of those solutions.
The equations required to describe the motion of a particle according to Quantum Electro Dynamics (an extremely accurate theory). Solving these equations is left as an exercise for the reader.
Could you explain the Three Body Problem and more specifically why it is likely to be unsolved?
personally i think theory of everything will not give an end to science because the other parts such as thermodynamics are left……
Do you really want to find the theory of everything? Probably, but you want to find it under your own terms. You go around stating the impossible because you don’t understand a concept. Oh look, light is both a particle and a wave. Oh look, particles of matter come in and out of existence in the quantum world. Oh look, superfluids defy gravity. The universe is a very logical place. I have found the theory of everything and nobody wants to listens. Why? Because I am not one of you. Swallow your pride and try every once in a while to hear the rest of us. You may be surprised at what you hear. In the mean time I will try with all of my powers to publish my manuscript. Maybe someone out there is listening.
I think that the universe can be described in a simpler way with more common sense. A unified theory of everything can explain not only all physical phenomena but also the dynamic of life and evolution, including psychological process. I will appreciate your time if you visit the website http://www.freesoulland.com/: A UNIFIED THEORY: THE BACKGROUND MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE, and give comment. Thank you very much.
A theory of everything will only give the right way to see the universe. Then science will be able to start on the right path without wasting time on impossible probabilities.
I found the theory of everything but i need help because i have problem of contact
lattice field theory : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_field_theory
that software sort of simulate behavior of the universe if that can help anyone to make further research : http://jeffersonlab.github.io/chroma/
Finding the theory of everything is not for “very soon” necause of many reasons. The main reason is in the statement taken from the article at the top:
“The theory of everything (TOE) will finally TIE TOGETHER ALL OF THE FUNDAMENTAL FORCES, describe the behavior of every type of particle, and explain in fine detail how space and time behave in all cases.”
As everybody knows today, one of those fundamental force, IS NOT A FORCE but the consequence of a deformation in the space-time geometry. So if one of the forces doesn’t exist, it shows that the way of seeing what is called “forces” is completely wrong. In fact, if you admit that all those “forces” are simply CONSEQUENCES instead of ACTING FORCES, the theory of everything is simple enough to be understood by a five year old child; and the behavior of particles and how space and time behave is rather simple to explain. Try it and you’ll find it within a year or two.
If it’s found anytime soon it will be used to destroy each other.Let it lie for 500 years.
