#58. Is the Theory of Everything Like This? [physics]


Red, theory; black, fact


Recursive.

The picture appears to contain a diagonal line, but if you look closely, you will see that nowhere is there a diagonal line. This picture was created by a simple recursive algorithm, and the disappearing diagonal is formed by successive approximations. 
In theorizing, then, you keep applying the same principle to the result of its previous application. Example: gravity makes a molten ball orbiting the Earth, namely the early moon, and then that same gravity brings meteorites down on the resulting smooth surface of basalt and anorthosite to create the pattern of craters we observe. Example: the evolution of evolution; all the molecular apparatus of evolution lies within the scope of that same evolution. Example: What if a quantum vacuum fluctuation happens in the background of a previous fluctuation? Did such a recursion create the observable universe?
