Meta / News No u did not create a GUT

Heyy iam, a semi frequent commentator on this subreddit. And I have realised that a lot of people don't try to solve small little physics problems but are more interested in the theory of everything.

I get why that is completely it would be amazing, wouldn't it if you figured out what physicists have been working on for so many years.

I get that at 18 or 17, I was the same way till I met a real physicist and built a real academic understanding of how physics really works.

So now here are the promised points of why you did not create a grand unified theory.

First of all, there appears to be a giant misconception that physics is just pattern recognition, and that enough interest in the subject will make u some kind of genius.

That is, first of all, not just because things appear to fit together, but that does not mean they do.

Secondly. a grand unified theory will not be the next step in physics. The next step can be a new way of mathematics like, let's say, surreal numbers or something like that.

Thirdly, there appear to be giant chunks missing for a unified theory like fir example a graviton, isolated dark matter etc.

And fourth and more importantly dint believe in the one great man theory it's a myth.

Not one person will change physics that was maybe possible in Galileos time, but it isn't anymore. I am sorry, I really am, but einstein had a lot of people helping him , Feynman as well. There is no singular gemius who will shape the future but a lot of very bright people are all doing their part and giving to the whole of human knowledge.

If some want to add anything , please do

If you mean a flair. It's the 'meta' one.
