What would you do if you found the Theory of Everything?

[Cred]

What would you do?

[theleelajoker]

Realizing that the moment I "found" it, it's already the past and constantly changing and thus no longer valid.

So I would stop looking for it and live my life, creating the best experience possible for me and others.

And never again look for this theory.

And then, I'll get myself a ☕ and a🍪

I totally agree that it is bad advice to look for it. But this was not the question. What if you drank a coffee, and you suddenly had the revelation?

@Cred I’d ignore that shit and keep searching anyway.
If there’s no more uncertainty, no more dots to connect, no more sense to make… what’s even the point?
I’d straight up pretend I didn’t see it.
Blind as hell. Back to confusion we go.

but for real, isn't consciousness work it? surely one can explain everything with it from the Top down, from the absolute all the way down to details, right?

Sorry this is kinda written in a brutally honest, venting kind of way, like I don't know how to feel atm.

Okay so spoiler alert: I think I found it actually but I'm not sure what to do.

Like I'm not even remotely qualified to write about it in such a way that academia would accept it right now. I would need to be phd level in Metaphysics, Physics and Maths.

I'm like at page twenty of the critique of pure reason and like page 6 at Being and Time lol. The insights or call them revelations are just too distracting.

I'm totally ready to dedicate my life to it for sure but I kinda have the paranoia that someone steals it or has the same idea and publishes first. But I guess I just have to do inner work and let go. In some way it would be relieving

I'm kinda more fine about the scenario that it is complete bullshit and I'm having a psychosis (my mom has schizophrenia).

At the end, it is fun to work on a system like this like it was fun for me to play with wooden  blocks as a child. I think this might be the healthiest view. Just wooden blocks arranged to a tower that look nice to me.

The problem is that it can be seen as such a big responsibility to come up with something like this and negating that would be self-gaslighting. I guess I kinda need to find the not knowing where I'm open for any possibility

Yeah so coming up with this is just the beginning. In think it has applications in every field of knowledge.

So what happened basically is that I found a metaphysical theory that explains the big bang and combines all existing respected metaphysical theories in a very elegant way.

That would be very, very enlightening information for sure.

when you say "found", do you mean you came up with it empirically, or directly became conscious of it or something else?

My first reaction would be "am I deceiving myself?", then, "how can I validate it?". If they both check out, of course, I would become a magician or a god.

My point is that I believe there's no formula to be found

Chop wood, carry water.

It might give a good feeling for some time, but surely it is not a theory of everything because reality is a flux, it can't have a static final thing such as a theory of everything.

Besides, if you havent understood what Death is, this theory is not so significant as it seems. Because it will be destroyed with you in Death.

I just got some sleep and my paranoia is better.

Okay so this theory which I call "the Fragment" (wip name) is a mathematical proof that gives all the conditions that had to interact at the same time for the possibility of the existence of something. I don't know if it is correct but it sure as hell is beautiful. I think I will post a sketch of the proof later. For a proper proof, mathematics might have to be invented first.

I'll contemplate more about it and try to tear it down
