We're not exactly a species that's content with what we need.
- bjt 6y agoThe article's point is deeper. > There is no reason that nature should actually be described by a theory of everything. While we *do need a theory of quantum gravity to avoid logical inconsistency in the laws of nature, the forces in the standard model do not have to be unified, and they do not have to be unified with gravity. It would be pretty, yes, but it’s unnecessary. The standard model works just fine without unification. We don't need the theories to be unified for them to be consistent. Putting all our efforts into that unification could actually be leading us astray and postponing the day when we've figured out how they're consistent.
