Framework
A Theory of Everything implies extra dimensions & universes—makes time travel possible
Starting w/Einstein
Einstein attempted to discover a Theory of Everything—even on his death bed he tried—he believed that all of “God’s thoughts” could be expressed in an equation that was no more than 1” in length.
Einstein’s Theorys of Relativity (everything BIG) brings forth the possibility of time travel and also a cosmic singularity
Einstein died trying, but others may have eeded….
Superstrings save the day….
String Theory bridges gap between quantum mechanics and relativity
Proposes 10 dimensions (we are only used to 3—or maybe 4 if we do what Einstein suggested and add a dimension of time)
Like a guitar string, these strings “vibrate” at different frequencies—matter emanates from these strings
Changes everything: now the universe can be explained as a symphony of superstrings and the laws of nature are harmonies of this “string music” all happening simultaneously (and more the time scale of plancks).
But not yet….
Einstein’s missing Theory of Everything would have to definitively explain the birth of the Big Bang—one concerns the birth of the universe, and the other concerns everything within it…

…and this is where the problems began for physicists
A Cosmic “Singularity”
Scientists could not mathematically merge String Theory and the Big Bang.
The most troubling problem exists in the fact that the laws of physics break down in the instance of the Big Bang; you can see the obvious issues that surface here when physicists bound to the proposition that nature is mechanistic, orderly, knowable and explainable through math and reason get told that their rules do not apply at the centerpiece of our universe itself.
Other issues w/Strings
String theory turned into 5 separate theories—if the theory of everything had 5+ theories; is it really the theory of not
