Tipler had proposed that the correct QM Lagrangian leading to gravity should be
[tex] S = \int d^4x\, \sqrt{-g}(\Lambda + \frac{1}{8\pi G}R + c^2_1R^2 +c^3_1R^3 \ldots + c^2_2R_{\mu\nu}R^{\mu\nu} + \ldots + c^3_1R_{\mu\nu;\alpha}R^{\mu\nu;\alpha} + \ldots) [/tex]
however is he right he proposed that according to a theorem of logic there would not be a great distinction between a theory with a countable (but infinite) set of axioms and a theory with a finite set of axioms

Tipler's article can be found at : http://math.tulane.edu/~tipler/theoryofeverything.pdf and http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.3276
