It seems that every field with dominant component has a group of people who work on "theories of everything" and essentially speculate about what phenomena could be explained if you take the postulates of the field and extend them as far as possible beyond the boundaries of the field. For instance, in neo-darwinism we have Richard Dawkins, who speculated about applying the central concepts of Darwinism to culture and spawned the field of memetics. Daniel Dennett has experimented with applying Darwinism and memetics to ethics and moral values. In socionics we have Aleksandr Bukalov, who has applied quantum mechanics to socionics (and probably vice versa) on a theoretical level and finds ways to apply socionics to every possible field of knowledge. In one of the biggest fields of all — theoretical physics — we have Stephen Hawking and David Deutsch, who are both preoccupied with the prospect of finding a "theory of everything," and recently some surfer dude from Hawaii came along and proposed his new theory of everything on under 40 pages.
But these so-called "theories of everything" only unite physical (in socionics — "logical") phenomena. Once we have it, we will still be a long way off from a true "theory of everything."
And even when this "theory of everything" is finally created, there will still be the following to work on:
- a description of everything that exists (wikipedia is working on this one)
- a name and definition for everything
- a picture of everything
- personal recollections of everything
(and maybe more)
