A SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION IN THE MAKING
At the present moment in history we stand on the brink of a scientific revolution that will likely determine the course of human thought for thousands of years to come. Theorists all around the world are currently collaborating on the development of a final scientific theory, a unified hypothesis of all the laws of nature, which promises to complete our scientific understanding of the universe.
This prospective unified thesis has thus often been dubbed the “holy grail” of modern science.The new theory is designed to study the behavior of the unified field, which acts as the source of all things in creation. Yet there is no direct, empirical evidence that the unified field exists; for all practical purposes, it is empirically hidden. There is no hope, even in principle, that the unified field or its elementary constituents will ever be observed empirically, either now or at any time in the future. As a result, its existence must be posited on an a priori basis, as we might posit an axiom in a theory of pure mathematics.
This amounts to an expansion of scientific thought such that the objects of scientific inquiry are no longer limited to the forms and phenomena of the observable universe. By consensus, the range of scientific thought has been expanded to include forms and phenomena that transcend all means of empirical observation.
