A theory of everything is the nickname given a hypothetical theory that will unify the theory of gravity (relativity) with the theories governing the weak nuclear, the strong nuclear and the electromagnetic forces (quantum mechanics).[1] Such a theory would explain everything. For a certain value of "everything", at least; more precisely, it would explain everything about fundamental physics. Such a "theory of everything" differs from the so-called "Grand Unified Theories", which exist but do not include gravity and do not agree with experimental data.
