If a TOE is discovered, is physics over? Will there be nothing worthwhile left to study?
That is exceedingly depressing. If that is so, I might as well drop out of school now, since physics will be over in the next 5-10 years.Thrice said:Yeas

Michelson in 1894 said:The more important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplanted in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote… Our future discoveries must be looked for in the six place of decimals.
Of cource not. Look at all other theories that tries to slove one major mystery and unsolved problem in physics it creates another even bigger mysteroious and unsolved problem.Atomos said:If a TOE is discovered, is physics over? Will there be nothing worthwhile left to study?

No, it was applesauce.wolram said:Was it Mott that said his TOE involved eating huge amounts of pasta ?

"The End of Physics" refers to the idea of discovering a theory that unifies all of physics and explains the fundamental laws of the universe. This theory is often referred to as the Theory of Everything (TOE).
The discovery of a TOE is important because it would provide a complete understanding of the laws of physics and how the universe works. It would also allow scientists to make predictions about the behavior of the universe and potentially unlock new technologies.
No, a TOE has not been discovered yet. Scientists have made significant progress in developing theories that attempt to unify different branches of physics, such as quantum mechanics and general relativity, but a complete and accepted TOE has not been achieved.
One of the main challenges in discovering a TOE is the complexity and vastness of the universe. The laws of physics at the quantum level and the laws of gravity at the cosmological level are difficult to reconcile, and there is still much that we do not understand about the fundamental laws of the universe. Technological limitations and the lack of experimental evidence also pose challenges in developing and testing theories.
It is difficult to predict if we will ever reach "The End of Physics" or discover a complete TOE. Scientific advancements and advancements in technology may bring us closer to this goal, but it is also possible that there are limitations to our understanding and the universe that we may never fully comprehend. Nevertheless, scientists will continue to pursue this goal and make progress in understanding the universe.
