Unification Theory: Understanding the Basics

AI Thread Summary
Unification Theory aims to explain all fundamental forces and particles in physics. For it to be validated, it must align with existing theories, including quantum mechanics and general relativity. The discussion highlights confusion over the assignment's phrasing, emphasizing the need for clarity in understanding what past and present theories must be integrated. A Grand Unified Theory (G.U.T.) should unify all realms of physics, making the question of its consistency with current theories crucial. Overall, the conversation underscores the complexity of defining a comprehensive unification framework.

Please Help Explain...

Can sombody please explain what all the unification theory has to explain to be right. As far as pass theories (that have to be still be correct according to it), and what forces goes.
:-p

How is this homework ?

And if it is, what effort have you made to answer the (vaguely formed) questions ?
 
My teacher assighend this for extra credit and told us to answer the following "By what theories, would a Unification Theory, have to be correct by and why if it is to be proven correct?"
 
"By what theories, would a Unification Theory, have to be correct by and why if it is to be proven correct?"
tell your teacher goes to grammer school
the question doesn't make any sense to me
 
He ment what theories pass and present theories have to be included in a unification theory(a theory to explain all things) and why it is important for them to be included in it
 
All theory should FIT IN the unification theory since it is a unification of ALL THEORY

Do you have any idea what are you asking?
 
The best translation of whatzzupboy's question I can make out is:

If a Grand Unified Theory were to be proven correct, then with what current physical theories would it have to be consistent, and why?

I still agree with vincent's point that a G.U.T. would have to unify all realms of physics, and so the question is a bit strange.
