Despite my great respect for the intelligence and imagination of many theoretical physicists, I’m not able to believe in one assumption (as far as I know) common among them: there’s one universal law/principle/theory that can explain anything & Everything in this universe.
The respectable intellectual souls’ quest for “The 1” over decades and centuries makes beautiful and mind-blowing theories, hypotheses, and stories. I’m just afraid ‘de assumption’is flawed.
Let’s look at a popular belief at this moment: a better/ comprehensive/ global regulatory framework can save us from the current mess for good. For politicians, promoting such belief may just be some political expediency; for us average citizens, if you believe in this, the root may trace back to Sir Isaac Newton, no matter how critical you are of the academia.
update: well, maybe we owe this old assumption to some ancient philosopher...
