ok Stephen Hawking is trying to come up with a theory of everything which can explain every other theory, does it already exist in the Vedas answer actually Stephen Hawking has himself admitted that a theory of everything is extremely elusive although in his book the grand design he purports to offer a particular theory as a theory of everything but if you critically investigate the theory it is definitely not a theory of everything because it assumes a lot of things for example he says for example his theory will explain how something came from nothing or how the world came from nothing but then if you look at what his conception of nothing is then it is definitely not nothing he assumes that things begin with a complex quantum mechanical vacuum and that complex quantum mechanical vacuum requires pages and pages of abstract mathematics to describe so it is definitely something it is not nothing so when he says that there is a theory of everything actually conditions apply, whatever he says is a theory of everything is a theory of everything provided this this this were true and there are not only Stephen Hawking not only religious scientists but many secular scientists have also strongly critiqued Stephen Hawking’s idea of the theory of everything because it assumes a lot of things it involves a lot of speculations and it is definitely not a theory of everything because it requires a lot of some things here and there and there and there for it to explain what it claims to explain so so theory of everything in fact Stephen Hawking in 2004 he had been working for years to try to develop a theory of everything and because of the recent movie about his the biopic about his life he has become more associated in the public imagination with the theory of everything but he himself admitted in around 2004-2005 he said that I am pleased to announce that humanity’s quest for knowledge will never end now what does that mean? means you remove the spin doctrine from that and what it essentially means is he is saying I am pleased to announce that humanity will forever stay ignorant now is that something to be pleased about? so theory of everything is not something that science is coming anywhere close to in fact the more science is studied there are two fundamental pillars of science that is quantum physics and relativity and both of these are violently contradictory quantum physics proposes that nothing exists except waves whereas relativity requires the existence of particles now now these theories there is just no way to reconcile them and the more these theories are being studied the more the distance between them is found to be more and more so all the scientists have been talking about theory of everything since 1980 but the more they study Steven Weinberg is one of the world’s most prominent atheistic scientists and he said that although we have made great progress in physics over the last few decades he says the more progress we make or the more knowledge we acquire the further we seem from the solution because quantum physics and relativity seem to be further and further apart so science neither Stephen Hawking nor the general body of scientists are anywhere close to the theory of everything now
