Common Faults with Universal Field Theories

 

What is surprising is the number of Unified Theories can be constructed. For example extra dimensional theories come in an infinite number of flavours. We can simply add an extra dimension, call it the dimension of force, describe this assumption with mathematical formula and we have made a complete and coherent theory. The frightening aspect is that they can make mathematical sense! Yes, invent one extra dimension with the right properties, and a whole unified theory for the universe can be proved logically and mathematically. Others have been created by inventing new particles (force particles usually) or by inventing new forces with peculiar properties. Again these can be formulated so as to create a mathematically cohesive whole.

Do things look hopeless? Well as the proposed answers such as M theory have a history of changing continually it certainly looks like a challenge! Especially with ideas which are so mathematically based no one knows actually what the theory actually represents! One famous M theorist once said we cannot work things out properly because we cannot think wildly enough. A desperate statement!

But they are taking the wrong angle. The only theory which can possibly hold up is one that makes no assumptions, because so many different theories can hold up with assumptions. And actually you can only ever hope to prove any theory in this area solidly correct if NO assumptions are made. Can it be done? Well what can possibly cause all of the phenomenon of particle behavior that is in the realms of known physics?

The answer has to be dimension itself. We know it exists. We don’t have to make any assumptions. We cannot assume extra dimensions, although an extra dimension is implied by some equations, they can easily be reformulated so as no extra dimension is needed. This implies that extra dimensions should not be resorted to unless absolutely necessary as they are nothing more than a pure assumption.

This is why Dense Space theory is not only a promising theory, it is the one which should be pursued above all others. It is the one theory which can be thoroughly endorsed by observed fact and assumptionless physics, and not be trampled down by a host of other equally ardent yet fatally flawed mathematical constructs.
