reflection on glaringly deficiencies of physics

[ragnus]

One alarming fact about physics is the lack of Grand Unification Theory (GUT) that explains everything. That is the holy grail of physics. Physics has long been a symbol of man's effort at rational thought. The mission was to understand, and predict God's system. I was fascinated with this prospect. I thought that to know how God's system works is

Then we observed, to much disappointment, that light travels at the same speed in all inertial frames.

i wouldn't call this disappointing. it is/was surprising, but not disappointing. also, i don't really know the history of physics -- exactly when and how was this observed?

Because it's a holy mission to understand the universe in man-made theories, it symbolizes the rise of western civilization.

why do you say this?

But the frustrating lack of progress in obtaining the Grand Unification Theory should casts seriously doubt on our optimism. It's perhaps important to ponder the limit of physics.these things take time. if such a theory really exists, you can't reasonably expect it to be easy to discover. you certainly can't reasonably expect mankind to be able to discover it in, say, less than 100 years

Heh i get what you're saying about pushing the limit. looks like you still haven't burnt out like me. You gotta use the passion you have now to push as hard as you can. Because you never know when that passion is going to die. It's not coincidence that most mathematicians achieve their pinnecle around 26-30 or so. You still got a few years left.

Dood in case if you ever have second thoughts on getting a math phd. Get a masters and you will definitely have a job with my boss. He told me specifically to watch out for talents here.

ROFL!

Is your boss a drug dealer operating out of People's Park?
