A Brief, Uninformed Conjecture at a "Theory of Everything"

3/17/2021

I don’t expect this is actually a true “Theory of Everything”, but I conjecture it explains many more phenomena than we are currently aware of.

In brief the conjecture is:

  1. “Everything” is made of very large numbers of tiny sub-parts. For example:
    • Objects are made of very many tiny atoms
    • Any given time range is made of up very many infinitesimally small time steps
    • Etc.
  2. At a small enough scale, changes (movements, interactions, etc.) in / between the sub-parts are essentially random or at least psuedorandom (unclear if this is actually true)
  3. According to the Law of Large Numbers in statistics, in the limit a random process converges to its expected value
  4. Given the very large number of sub-parts (#1) behaving at least psuedorandomly (#2), the Law of Large Numbers (#3) guarantees we converge to “everything’s” expected value
  5. Hence (given #4), the reason why a phenomenon works the the way it does is that it’s simply the most likely (expected) outcome of some psuedorandom process with very many tiny steps / parts
