The answer to TOE is 42. Thanks to the world's greatest scientificator, uh, scientician....Douglas Adams.

Also, reality is simulated and we live in The Matrix, so all laws are fleeting and can be changed at the whim of whoever operates the software.

I feel like I made a thorough and sound argument here today.

This glitch-in-the-code knows what I'm talking about! Am I right, fellow digital avatars? Am I right?

You're simultaneously right and wrong all at once. There are infinite similar glitches in the code.

Interesting read! Too bad there hasn’t seemed to be much concrete improvements toward a TOE, but at least that gives physicists more time to pick better acronyms

I do what I can, fellow Andrew. We walk together or we walk alone.

So cool how you've brought all those different articles together here. Not quite a theory of everything, but at least a satisfying unification of multiple elements.

Thanks, Jenny! I might have like 20 pieces on physics so far. I wanted to sort of help readers by putting some of 'em together here. Some of that stuff was very fun to write!

As a hardcore Big Bang Theory and Sheldon Cooper fan, I actually have some idea what you're talking about in most of those physics pieces. It's also helped me make some connections that I'd been missing.

Did you see the "Bang" piece earlier this week? Definitely a must-read for Big Bang Theory fans!

I did actually, about elements being cooked inside of stars... Weird stuff that one.
