The Theory of Everything "The Rise of Quantum Physics"

Between 1885 and 1890 even scientists commonly believed that all great discoveries in physics had been made. From solving motion mechanics to answering questions of gravitation, from discovering properties of matter to determining behavior of light, from calculations of force, work, energy momentum, temperature, wave motion, electricity and magnetism up to calculation of probably the most important physical constant in physics – the speed of light.

That moment scientists thought that all (or almost all) of what we have to know in physical reality had been explained through numerous geniuses that had born and died. But all their contentment has been shrug, something that will probably change the whole game.

Hundreds to thousand of years have spent studying the fundamentals of life and everything. Tons of scientists provide us the answer. Thousand of experiments have conducted to come up with conclusions. But still, they are missing something in the equation, something that might answer the mystery they long to solve - what is everything?

Albert Michelson and Thomas Morley had just performed their famous Michelson-Morley experiment showing the absence of ether. X-rays, radioactivity the electron, and the nucleus were successively discovered in a relatively short time. From that moment two new great theories arisen – theory of relativity and the quantum theory. New problems confronted the physicists and giving much attention to it would probably result in further fruitful discoveries.

Max Plank introduced the idea of quantum radiation in 1900. The quantum theory states that the energy is not smoothly flowing continuum but is manifested by the emission of radiating bodies of discrete particles or quanta.

By the same moment Albert Einstein proposed the theory of relativity and answers many questions regarding the relation of time and space. It also predicted that the matter and energy is in sense equivalent as what expressed in E=MC^2.

To make summary of both theories I conceived an idea to explain it in layman’s term. Imagine of a human body it consists of systems where systems have different organs. But those organs are just made of tissues and tissues compost of cells. A cell is compost of molecular particles. And as we know it those molecular particles are compost of atoms and that is the smallest unit in physics. And as we go deeper to the submicroscopic world of atom, the atom itself is a composition of quantum energy or quantum particles. But there is a thing that puzzles the physicists the most. The momentum and activities of that particle cannot be calculated nor predicted.

Modern physicists come up with the idea that those particles are communicating with each other despite the distance between them. Once Einstein called it “spooky actions at a distance”. Although the atom itself is not directly observable there is no further doubt about the reality of it. If everything is nothing but a manifestation of energy, then everything emits frequency – frequency we receive everyday. And that frequency is the medium where particles communicating beyond time and space.

What are those frequencies for?


Is this theory meant to explain everything?


Is there an ultimate design that bounds us?
