The Theory of Everything…
What Took So Long!
By ScottS Gordon
“The most important thingin scienceis not so muchto obtain new facts as to discover new
ways of thinking about them.”
― Sir William Bragg
The solution to the theory of everything is waiting for your review in a newly released textbook
entitled, “The GOD Entity: Gordon’s Theory of Everything”.
After general relativity and quantum mechanics were generally accepted, it was thought that grand
unification and the theory of everything could not be far off. Yet, the struggle to find the theory of
everything persisted over the past 100 years. Why this theory has been so elusive is easy to see in
hindsight and the top 10 reasons are listed below:
1) Faulty Postulates Used to Derive General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
Theories are used in physics which are expressed in mathematics. A theory starts with
postulates which are expressed in mathematical terms which are then used to derive
equations representing the theory which can be tested. Just like all theories, general
relativity and quantum mechanics are derived from their respective postulates. These
strong theories were subsequently used to develop much of the mathematics we use to
describe the physics we understand today. The problem is these theories do not work well
together in solving the “big” picture and yet it seems that they should. We need to consider
that if these two strong basic theories cannot be united, then there must be something
fundamentally flawed with the postulates used in deriving them.
If inaccurate and/or incomplete postulates were used to build our strongest theories which
form the basis of all our physics, then there is a major problem in our current foundation of
physics. Physicists are using the mathematics derived from this false foundation to try and
solve the theory of everything. These attempts are doomed to fail. Physicists will not
succeed until they first fix the flawed postulates used to derive relativity and quantum
mechanics. Trying to fix these postulates by using the mathematics derived from them is
not possible!
In order to unite relativity and quantum mechanics, the postulates on which they were built
must be modified. The modifications need to be done in such a way so that relativity and

2. 2
quantum mechanics remain basically intact; similar to how Einstein’s theory of special
relativity modified Newtonian physics. The only way to achieve this goal is to find the
primordial postulates for the theory of everything and then derive the corrected postulates
for general relativity and quantum mechanics.
We should take note that the postulates used to derive relativity and quantum mechanics
are expressed in simple mathematics. We should therefore expect that the primordial
postulates of the theory of everything to be expressed in simple mathematics. This is in
direct contradiction to those who are using the complex mathematics derived from
relativity and quantum mechanics to solve the theory of everything.
2) The Sub-Specialization of Physicists
The specialization of physicists within a specific area of research makes it extremely
difficult to consider the big picture. In the medical field, the specialists take care of specific
areas of medicine or surgery. Unlike the internist or family physician, they usually do not
treat a patient’s overall medical condition. In comparison, a physicist may want to work on
a specific problem in physics such as inflation at the time of the Big Bang, or gravity; but
physicists have to work within the confines of our existing mathematics and current
theories.
Our current theories are missing “something” because there is something missing from the
flawed postulates from which they were derived. It is not likely that physicists working
under these conditions would find a new mathematical basis of understanding. If you can
only use the flawed mathematics of established theories, then you can only come up with a
flawed answer that serves as a “patch-like solution” to a problem. This is what has been
happening in physics; “sub-theories” based on our current mathematics are used to explain
specific phenomena such as the black holes, inflation, expansion, mass, and many others.
Physicists then attempt to stitch together a tapestry of patch-like solutions to create a
complete picture of the universe. This piecemeal approach will not be helpful in figuring
out the theory of everything. In addition, physicists should realize that all the mathematical
efforts put into analyzing Feynman diagrams also fall subject to this problem. The solutions
to Feynman diagrams will not be helpful in solving the theory of everything.
3) The Selection Process to Become a Physicist
The path to become a physicist includes an intense training and selection process. Only
those who are the best at the required skills will earn the title of physicist and be allowed
into “the academic club” of physicists. Many believe that a diverse academic physics
community would be helpful in bringing forth the solution to the theory of everything

3. 3
where diverse backgrounds foster diverse ideas. However, people of different backgrounds
who have gone through the intense selection process to become an academic physicist also
become part of… the collective “mind” of physicists. In other words, they all have become
physicists and thus “think” like physicists using the established theories and mathematics
they have learned in the process.
“Man (or woman) is not permittedwithout censure to follow his (or her) own
thoughts in thesearch oftruth, whenthey lead him (orher)everso little out of the
common road.”
― John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding
Consider the following analogy using a selection process to find the best musicians to create
a world class orchestra. To be selected as a member you must be a master of your
instrument, create the best tonal qualities, and be a talented performer with the highest
skills in reading musical scores.
However the skills needed to solve the theory of everything is not comparable to a musician
selected by this process; it is comparable to the person who composes music or creates a
new musical instrument. A person composing and arranging the music does not need the
talent to play an instrument well; nor does this person need to know much music theory.
However this person must possess the gift of creating music. If such a person can place his
or her notes onto a score, this new music can be played by those who have the ability to do
so. Many new arrangements of music can be created by those who are members in the
orchestra; but what about a completely new musical genre using new musical instruments.
Many times, it is the street musician who creates a revolutionary new “style” of music.
It is unlikely to hear a street musician play his or her new genre of music with the classically
trained members of a philharmonic orchestra. Therefore while we expect the solution to the
theory of everything to come from a physicist (or physicists), the selection process to
become a physicist may have weeded out the very people who have the gift to solve the
theory of everything.
4) Space-time is a Medium
A very important obstacle in solving the theory of everything is the indoctrination of almost
the entire physics community onto the wrong path over 100 years ago. Ask the “collective
mind” of physicists whether space-time is a medium and the answer you get is “no!” If the
answer is actually “yes”, then there is no way to ever solve the theory of everything.
Physicists believe space-time is a “void” and not a medium because of the results of the
Michelson-Morley experiment. Although the data from the Michelson-Morley experiment is
correct, this conclusion is incorrect. I point out that Einstein’s theory of general relativity
never proved that a medium did not exist, and Einstein himself believed that theory of

4. 4
general relativity could not properly function without a medium. Even though Einstein and
others could not find the medium, doesn’t mean that one does not exist. In any case, the
notion that there is no medium was established and passed on from generation to
generation, teacher to student, to the point where physicists would rather believe in
multiple universe theories than go back and reconsider that there is a flaw in their current
understanding.
“It is not thethingswe don’t know that kill us, it’sthethings we know for sure that
ain’t true.”
― Mark Twain
5) The Concept of Infinite Scales
Many of you may be wondering if string theory (or any version thereof) could hold the
answer. As a person who did not go through the selection process to become a physicist, it
is much easier for me to see the major fundamental shortcoming in all versions of string
theory that immediately disqualify them as possible solutions to the theory of everything.
String theory, along with every other theory proposed so far to solve the theory of
everything, does not address the problem presented in what I refer to as “The Concept of
Infinite Scales”.
We consider distance as a property (parameter) of space-time (and it is). We define
distance as a set of points along a path. However a point has no dimensions and therefore
cannot have distance. It doesn’t matter how many points you “string” together, points
cannot create distance. Therefore, points along a path cannot be used to define the distance
along a path because there are always an infinite number of points between any two points.
The manner in which we conceptualize distance is incorrect and thus the parameter of
distance remains undefined in all our current theories.
In string theory, the first entity placed into our universe is a string. However a string has
length which is measured by distance. Is it possible to define everything in the universe by
using a theory where the first entity used to create the universe has the undefined property
of distance?
Physicists openly wonder why there seems to be two major theories that describe our
universe, one that works for large scales and one that works for small scales. The
underlying reason is that neither theory accounts for the problem presented in the concept
of infinite scales.
6) The Ruby Slipper Conundrum

5. 5
Probably the most difficult obstacle to overcome in finding (and understanding) the theory
of everything is what I have coined, the “Ruby Slipper Conundrum”. The reason why it is
called the “Ruby Slipper Conundrum” is explained in Section 7.3 of “The GOD Entity:
Gordon’s Theory of Everything”.
Once you consider that space-time could be a medium, you need to determine what the
basic building block of that medium is; and herein lies a huge problem! Everything we
know to exist; exists “in” space-time. We have no other choice but to understand the
properties of particles, their interactions, and resulting phenomena as they exist “in” space-
time.
I use the word entity for the building block “of” space-time to distinguish it from particles
that exists “in” space-time. The question to ask is; do we possess the mental capacity to
conceive of this entity’s mathematical properties in the manner in which it actually exists?
Such an entity cannot be mathematically expressed as a particle “in” space-time because it
does not exist “in” space-time; it exists “as” space-time. Mathematically describing such an
entity has never been done before in the history of physics!
Let’s consider what would happen if we were to pluck one of these entities out of its
structural position of space-time and place it where no space-time exists (isolated in the
true void). Can we possibly conceive of its properties and describe them mathematically
where it would make sense to us. I can assure you that no one, not even our greatest minds
in physics, can think that far “outside the box”. Because this has never been done before,
the mathematics of this entity would be impossible to accept without first going through the
“Ruby Slipper Conundrum”. This is why when reading “The GOD Entity: Gordon’s Theory of
Everything”, you must commit to reading the entire book.
7) Backwards Extrapolation of Current Mathematics
Physicists are doing the best they can by extrapolating backwards to figure out how it all
started; but they cannot work past the Big Bang. Is it possible to figure out what caused the
Big Bang? Surprisingly the answer is yes, but only if you have already figured out the theory
of everything. This represents a Catch-22 where we need to solve what existed before the
Big Bang to tell what caused the Big Bang. There are a few hints which seemed to have been
overlooked by physicists, these include: space-time is a medium, photons are polarized,
distance cannot be defined as a set of points, and the mathematics should be relatively less
complicated earlier in the progressive development of our universe. This makes sense if we
make the logical assumption that our universe reached its current level of complexity from
less complexity.
The following is a list of falsehoods that are thought to be true because of the errors
introduced by extrapolating our current theories and mathematics backwards.

6. 6
A) The universe started with the Big Bang as a singularity where “nothing” existed
before - False
B) At the time of the Big Bang, the universe was hot - False
C) Primordial particles of matter did not contain mass - False
D) Almost the same amount of anti-matter was created as matter - False
E) Gravity had to be turned on - False
8) Parameters Taken for Granted
Gordon’s Theory of Everything starts with the true void and uses only two primordial
postulates to create our universe and everything in it. Nothing additional is ever required to
explain anything else. There is an inevitable progression of events that is dictated by the
evolving mathematics of the two primordial postulates. Parameters we take for granted
such as distance, direction, speed of light, mass, charge, and others are mathematically
defined as they come to exist in the Gordon model. If a physicist tries to figure out the
theory of everything by using these parameters before defining them and showing how they
come to exist, then he or she has already passed the point in which to solve the theory of
everything.
9) Direct Approach to Solve the Theory of Everything
In trying to solve the theory of everything, the first problem encountered is, where do you
start? There seems to be nothing wrong with the theories of relativity or quantum
mechanics or the postulates from which they were created. The math in these theories was
correctly derived and conforms to almost all the experimental data ever generated. It’s
almost as if there is no problem to solve; yet something is missing since we do not have all
the answers. It is hard to find what is missing if you have no idea what it is that is missing.
An analogy can be made with a tasty apple pie. The recipe for the apple pie is perfect and
provides a yummy treat that we can recreate every time. As far as anyone knows, nothing is
missing from this pie as we indulge in its deliciousness. Now compare that to an apple pie
where the recipe calls for cinnamon. That would be an even tastier apple pie (by most
people) but since no one ever knew that cinnamon could be an ingredient in an apple pie, it
was never considered to be missing. Once cinnamon is placed in the recipe, it would seem
that it should have been there all along.
Finding the missing ingredient in our current theories (the cinnamon) cannot be
approached by directly questioning relativity and/or quantum mechanics (tasting the apple
pie). The approach has to be by questioning the ingredients (the postulates) used to make
the apple pie (the theory). We need to “see” something in our spice rack that we have never

7. 7
considered before. It is only this type of indirect approach of finding the missing ingredient
that will lead us to solving the theory of everything.
10) The Unknown Hierarchy of Energy
It turns out that energy is the key to explaining our universe, for without energy nothing can
exist. There is a hierarchy of energy that exists in the universe that up until now has gone
unrecognized. Gordon’s theory of everything achieves unification by finding the last of the
three energy states that exist in our universe and then shows how these energy states are
related through one simple equation.
One energy state sprung from Einstein’s theory of special relativity when he derived the
expression E = mc2 (or E2 = m2c2) where the E2 energy state is associated with matter (and
anti-matter), mass, and gravity. Planck found another energy state when he showed that the
energy of light came in packets expressed by the equation E = hv which can be alternatively
expressed as E1 = (h/λ)c1 (or E1 = m1c1) where the E1 energy state is associated with the
theory of quantum mechanics and light.
The missing piece of the puzzle found by Gordon is the E0 energy state (E0 = m0c0) where E0
energy is the energy associated with the entities that create space-time. These three
equations are expressed as
EG = mGcG
and is referred to as, “The GOD Equation”.
The subscript and exponential term G represent one of the three independent co-existing
Gordon energy states with values of {0, 1, 2}. The mG term represents the displacement
and/or motion of the underlying space-time medium associated with each energy state.
What can be simpler than this equation uniting the theory of relativity, the theory of
quantum mechanics, mass, gravity, the gravitational constant, light, Planck’s constant,
electromagnetism, all four known forces of nature, and the space-time medium?
You may be asking yourself, “Could the solution be this simple?” The answer is yes, especially when
considering that the simple answer is usually the correct one. The three energy states of the GOD
equation are independently derived from the primordial postulates used in Gordon’s theory of
everything. The Gordon model reveals our universe’s underlying simplicity which evolves into its
mathematical splendor. After learning Gordon’s theory of everything, many unanswered questions
in physics are solved and the rest are waiting to be solved. “The GOD Entity: Gordon’s Theory of
Everything” finally reveals how energy fields are created, why gravity is much weaker than the

8. 8
other forces of nature, along with what quantum spin is, and what creates electric charge. Also
solved are the internal structures of: space-time, ideal photons, up quarks, and electrons/positrons
(the internal structure of the rest of the particles in the standard model are left to the professionals
as they advance Gordon’s theory of everything).
The solution to the theory of everything cannot be presented in a journal article or series of papers.
Journals articles add knowledge to a fundamental core that the author assumes the reader has
already mastered. Currently, our basic understanding of physics does not include the correct basic
core since current theory does not start at the beginning. Gordon’s theory of everything does not
advance physics; it corrects the fundamental basis of how everything came to exist which is
required to advance physics beyond its current impasse.
Classically trained physicists seem to take the parameters used in current theory for granted with
no concerns of how they came to exist. There are many new concepts that are required to
understand these parameters as our universe evolved to its present day structure. In order to fill in
this large gap, Gordon’s theory of everything had to be presented in the form of a basic textbook.
To be fair to all physicists, “The GOD Entity: Gordon’s Theory of Everything” has been released
independent of physics academia; giving an equal opportunity to all who decide to advance it.
Gordon’s theory of everything will trigger a race to determine the internal structures of the
particles in the standard model and then to resolve all the mysteries of physics and beyond.
Conclusion:
After reading and learning “The GOD Entity: Gordon’s Theory of Everything”, you may wonder…
what took so long? These are the 10 major reasons why the solution to the theory of everything has
been so difficult to find. As a “street musician”, I can only develop the Gordon model so far. The
time has come for the professional academic physicists to review Gordon’s theory of everything and
take charge of its advancement.
