Professor Hawking on M-Theory

M-Theory is the multiverse (many universes) version of string theory and a framework for several disciplines in theoretical physics and nature to coexist in. Hawking tells us…

“Regarding the laws that govern the universe, what we can say is this: There seems to be no single mathematical model or theory that can describe every aspect of the universe. Instead there seems to be a network of theories called M-Theory.

Each theory in the M-Theory network is good at describing phenomena in a certain range. Wherever their ranges overlap, the various theories in the network agree, so they can all be said to be parts of the same theory.

It is a bit like a map. As is well known, one cannot show the whole of the earth’s surface on a single map. To faithfully map the entire earth, one has to use a collection of maps, each of which covers a limited region. The maps overlap each other and where they do they show the same landscape.

M-Theory is similar, the different theories in M-Theory family may look very different, but they can all be regarded as aspects of the same underlying theory.”

Like M-theory, the different theories and disciplines in the M-Systems family may look very different, but they can all be regarded as aspects of the same underlying theory.

And whilst there is no department in any university that currently considers the subject M-theory as a business or economic subject, there really should be.

As for the concept for different disciplines converging within an underlying greater theory; In 2011, Lee Chazen’s blog proposed “how one might merge ideas and subject areas in order to discover universal truths.” As a consequence… the plan for Facebook Travel in 2011 transformed into the first American Butterfly book The Theory of Every Business.’ A year later.

But can one use the laws of nature as the basis of an economic system and why would one wish to do so?
