I think we'll all be surprised when Family Guy turns out to be right.

We'll need a workable theory of quantum gravity before that becomes a tractable problem.

Jesus Christ, what is wrong w/ me?

What about the other three fundamental forces?

W/ the amount of spacetime curvature characteristic of Big Bang/blackhole conditions quantum gravitational effects tend to dominate over other fundamental forces.

I'm only really interested in theoretical physics, it's not my field of study(maybe I can go back for it after a while), so I'm definitely no expert.

One big fart

Your mom.

I was thinking more along the lines about why the forces exist in the first place. So do you mean to say that gravity can explain the historical shape of the universe? Or am I way off right now?

Gravity(along w/ the cosmological constant/dark energy what ever it is) pretty much decides the history, shape and overall character of the universe for the most part, yeah.

Why the other forces exist? I don't know where to start on that, probably need a grand unified field theory. I know we've already unified electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force into the electroweak force. All that remains is to unify the strong force.

But where did gravity & the other forces come from in the first place?

If I gave a shit about string theory this is where i'd give you that rigamarole, but frack that shit.

What exactly don't you like about it?

It's entirely experimentally unsupported(which would be fine at this point if so much weren't spent on it over other models), proponents have to invoke multiple universes and anthropic reasoning to make it make sense(unlike the Everette interpretation of QM,think Bioshock Inf., where the multiple universes simply fall out out of the equations), Supersymmetry is basically a prerequisite which is complicated by the fact that it's also experimentally unsupported. Really, i'm not an expert so you can just call these some random fgts gripes about a theory he probably doesn't understand.

Since when did other universes have to do with String Theory? I thought String Theory was all about other dimensions and a single substance that makes up all matter?

You need to look up the String Landscape(something like that). Basically turns out when they crunch the numbers(w/ a computer of course) they get something like 10^500 different phase states for a universe that could possibly look like ours. They then invoke chaotic inflation and say that our universe looks they it does because there are tons of them this one just happens to be able to contain life. They may well be right, just doesn't sit well w/ me.
