what was wrong with Newtons laws?

i mean, how did we find it, can we see it, hear it, smell it, whatever, how do we know it's there?

yes. how exactly did we come upon discovering that?

i don't know if something is wrong with it or not. I just think the chances of 100% of it being correct are very slim. if i'm wrong, fine, but i'm just using that as an example. and the search for TOE is getting more and more interesting with it's suspense, and the discoveries that we find in our search. I do agree with everyone on that, I just think that TOE will be much more interesting than it's search.

I don't know, the answer would seem more interesting because we could - in a way - know everything in the universe (about physics, math and other science), but you're right, the search is prety interesting.

we don't have to have it exactly correct, for instants, general relativity, thats probably mostly correct, but theres probably a few parts that arn't right, but so much of it probably is right, that we can safely rely on general relativity for most situations in physics. TOE may be something like this.

sorry, didn't see that post

but then there's man's special (yet annoying way) of finding answers and thinking up ways to proove them wrong. could that mean that we never really find a unified theory.

let's assume that we do -some day- discover a unified theory, would that be the end of all physics.

but TOE means theory of everything, and a scientific theory usually can't be proven, especially in something as complicated as quantum physics

string theory seems to explain the 4 forces, so it seems almost as though string theory is TOE, what does string theory lack?

if we have no proof, or even testing on string theory, then why do we rely so much on in the feild of quantum physics?

thanks

Thanks

i wouldn't know where to look, i read it in a book about black holes 2 or 3 years ago.

true, but it does make you think, with all the people who read it before it was published, you'd think somebody would have thought of this. but, there might be more to the theory that i don't remember (it's been a while since i read it).

that's what i thought, but they would have had to have thought of this before they published it.

which post, mine or cap'n refsmmat

maybee, but if our universe is a black hole, then how do we have black holes in our universe?

there's a theory that says that our universe may only be a black hole. if this is so, we have black holes in our universe, then would that mean that black holes can exist in other black holes? another enquiry about this, is how would the black hole even get into a different black hole in the first place? would it be possible for a black hole with strong gravity (this is by black hole standards) to suck in another black hole with lighter gravity?

thanks

what are tachyons?

and could someone explain to me what tachyons are? i understand what Ben_Phys618 is saying, but i don't know what tachyons are.
