re:Unifying Theory
It appears that the person was aware of that everything is relative to the perciever, and just hypothetically raising the possibity of all phenomona being unifiable. Although it is true that everything is relative to the perciver, the oxymoron would then actually be physics and/or trying to unravel something that is different from infinate perspectives. Although it is necessary to allow the possiblity of the non-existance of any type of bench-mark, at one point we must postulate within the realm of our knowledge, our time, and space; ie - although the unifying answer may be outside the scope of perception, we still have to work within the frame work of our limited imaginations.
Even though an equation may have the same answer when solved a billion times over by someone, another person could come along and do it completely different, and come up with a different answer. If he/she is the only person, is he/she wrong? A lot of people assume we are steadily looking for the truth, but the
possiblity also exists that the truth is drawing us toward it, despite all that is stead contrary. If you can't see the trees for the forest, how do you know which to bark up? Point is, you don't, but you do anyway. Because subjective questions seemingly need to be answered.
Also, it seemed you were assuming that the truth is subjective. Even if the perciever is, the truth, if it exists, would be unmovable in its' definition. It could not, by its' own definition, exsist by itself, (if it is true that in order
to be defined something else must define it) If you look at the christian theological perspective, the truth is light, defined by darkness; nobody knows if they're right but the truth. According to those who believe in the big bang, if they consider it true the universe began from highly concentrated matter; again nobody knows if they're right but the truth. Either examples has equal
possibilities of being the truth.
So the truth, being non-subjective, can be achieved through subjective assumptions, and if guessed correctly, would be undeniable.
A unifying principle, again, within the scope of infinate possiblities, therefore, may also exist.
I remember when growing up thinking that it was more logical to assume the possiblity of extra-terrestial life when looking at the equation with the infinity symbol in it, yet being careful when discussing it because most people still believed that the possibility was equated with a finate number, (their existance
on earth) Now, it is not so true. Although the truth is relative from our subjective perspective in that example, our perspective may now be closer to the truth.
The truth is not necessarily relative to the perciever, even if the perciever believes it to be.
