Unified Equation

Supposedly there one equation that will explain the entire universe. I'm not sure what kind of equation it is but I'm pretty sure it ain't something like y=mx+b.

Although maybe it is? Maybe the whole universe can be simplified to one single straight line in a two dimensional universe. How absolutely absurd would that be? Do you think the scientist that discovers this will lose his mind? After years exlporing higher level mathematics, you realized that the math you learned in grade school holds all the information that is needed to explain how the universe works.

But wouldn't that a beautiful and elegant solution to the universe. Y=mx+b. Or maybe even something as simple as a nice differential equation. It would be great to graph it.

Imagine if you could graph it and point to a specific point on the line, or curve or area and say, you see the slope of this region. Thats the human race .. . . . this where we fit into the universe.

If we solved the equation would the universe cease to exist? Would everything just disapear to a single point. The entire universe collapsing into a single point of no dimension.

Well, please allow me to retort!!!

you know, the last thing i need is a bible thumper ruining my good beer buzz.

Maybe god was a mathemeticiain and wrote an equation that gave birth to universe or maybe the universe already existed. since math is the natural language of nature. Nature can be explained using Mathetmatics. Nothing is more natural than the Universe, and someday we maybe be able to explain the universe using an equation. God will having nothing to do with it. Expect for maybe being an outside observer.
