A Real Theory of Everything

A unified field theory in 3D over all scales — from macroscale continuum mechanics to microscale atomic physics — made real by finite precision computation.
Two fundamental forces: Newton  +  Coulomb  —  same Poisson equation.

Modern theoretical physics rests on macroscale Einstein/Newton continuum mechanics in 3D, but on microscale quantum mechanics of a fundamentally different form — a probability wave on 3N-dimensional configuration space. The two are incompatible or contradictory: there is no unified theory, which is behind the crisis of modern physics. Einstein struggled until his death to find one but did not succeed.

“There is no interpretation of quantum mechanics that does not have serious flaws … We ought to take seriously the possibility of finding some more satisfactory other theory, to which quantum mechanics is only a good approximation.” — Steven Weinberg (Nobel laureate), The Trouble with Quantum Mechanics

RealQM is quantum mechanics reformulated as continuum mechanics in 3D: electrons as real charge densities on physical 3D space, not a probability wave on 3N-dimensional configuration space. Replacing QM by RealQM opens to a Theory of Everything presented below.

Two pillars

Real ThermoDynamics

Macro-physics · Body & Soul Vol V · built on RealNSE
  • 2nd Law as turbulent dissipation D, not entropy
  • Joule expansion, heat engines, refrigeration
  • Turbulence, shocks, bluff-body drag
  • Self-gravitating gas, cosmology, climate convection

Real Quantum Mechanics

Micro-physics · Body & Soul Vol VI · built on RealSE
  • Electrons as real densities on 3D space, not probability
  • Atoms, ionization energies, the periodic table
  • Covalent bonds, molecules, reactions
  • Black-body radiation and atomic radiation without the photon

Live simulations — runnable in the browser, no installation
