It is my belief that Charles Misner and John Wheeler were correct in 1957 when they said, in the “Annals of Physics”, that Albert Einstein’s latest equations united gravitation and electromagnetism, and demonstrated the unified field theory. In January 2012, I wrote a little article called “Misner/Wheeler correct about Einstein's Unified Field Theory being successful”. That was just a summary of this present article, sketching its basic outline and the points that needed to be filled in. I’ve spent the following 14 months developing what I believe are satisfactory answers to UFT’s problems. The first point of debate is – it has been argued that the gravitational fields, if known everywhere but only for a limited time, do not contain enough information about their electromagnetism to allow the future to be determined, so Einstein's unified theory fails. Physicists also argue that a unified "theory of everything" must now include not just gravity and electromagnetism, but also the weak and strong nuclear forces plus dark matter and dark energy. I address all these concerns in detail. But I do so in the form of an essay (there is mathematics, but no equations) that uses concepts like planetary motion, revised gravitation, and string theory to arrive at a theory of everything. The essay might be suitable for a young teenager living in the second part of this century. Why is it written this way? "If a complete unified theory was discovered, it would only be a matter of time before it was digested and simplified ... and taught in schools, at least in outline. We should then all be able to have some understanding of the laws that govern the universe and are responsible for our existence." ("A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, Introduction by Carl Sagan) So the article/essay is entirely unsuitable for any maths or science journal.
