The Theory of Everything may be a mathematically simple model which is rich in implications and more difficult in concepts than calculations. The model I have just published as a candidate theory of everything is just such a model. String theory on the other hand is simple in concept but difficult in calculations. The concept of my model is that we treat all energy the same way. This is a MASSIVE oversimplification. All the scientific details for any experts that have questions are in the latest paper and the references to it. This is an idea developed in publications and talks since 2014 to now. THE BELOW IS MASSIVELY OVERSIMPLIFIED experts should see the references to go with the paper. Suffice it to say the latest LIGO observation combined with optical observation of a neutron star merger supports one of the findings that was posted as a pre print of this paper. So anyone who wants to poo poo this theory needs to contend that the fact this model matches every observational test to date.
"Unification of Fundamental Physics Using Lagrangian-Euclidian Space, Where GR = QFT." Hontas Farmer,
Authorea preprint,10/18/2017 DOI: 10.22541/au.150832792.28888379
First a question, what is a Lagrangian? At the most basic a Lagrangian is a function which is the difference between the kinetic and potential energies of the system under consideration. Kinetic energy is energy of motion, potential energy is stored energy or in field theory terms the energy of an interaction. The Lagrangian satisfies Hamilton's principle of least action, physical systems follow the path which will result in the least action. Where the Lagrangian appears and minimizes the action of a physical system. A homespun example of this principle at work is the old adage that a river will find the path of least resistance to the ocean.
This is the abstract of the paper.
Suppose we were to treat the Lagrangians of the theories we wish to unite as coordinates in a space of Lagrangians. In this space the Lagrangians for general relativity (Einstein-Hilbert), the standard model, and the dark sector act as coordinate axes. From here a functional derivative equation is set up for a functional, T, which gives as a result another functional, U, which denotes the Lagrangian for our universe. From there the action (script S) due to U is computed and shown to converge even at infinite energy. Finally with (script S) a generating functional for all possible interactions is computed and a one inch equation of everything is given
. It is the assertion of this paper that with the generating functional detailed herein one may compute any physical quantity of interest including gravitational and dark sector corrections and arrive at a finite result. Specifically graviton-graviton and graviton photon interactions are shown to result in finite observable quantities. It is noted that this is a fully worked out model where GR and QFT are treated on an equal footing by relativizing QFT, or put simply GR=QFT.
Z is what is known as a generating functional from which field theory results can be computed by taking functional derivatives.

I have not done detailed numerical calculations yet. Intuition based on my model tells me that when and if we are able to examine such events closely the result will be a black hole. That may sound obvious but it isn't obvious that it needs to be a black hole. If enough mass is annihilated to photons and escapes the result could be a neutron star or a more massive, dense, and exotic object called a quark star.
On future finds in particle physics.
