The '''Theory of Geometric Unity''' is an attempt by Eric Weinstein to produce a unified field theory by recovering the different, seemingly incompatible geometries of fundamental physics from a general structure with minimal assumptions.

Geometric Unity was [[A Portal Special Presentation- Geometric Unity: A First Look|first presented]] in three Simonyi Special Lectures delivered over the course of a week at the University of Oxford. The lectures were organized by Marcus du Sautoy, the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science. The lectures provided a broad overview of the mathematical structures in the theory’s endogenous version, discussed where current effective theories are recovered in those structures, and showed general predictions based on those structures. | |||
"[[A Portal Special Presentation- Geometric Unity: A First Look|A Portal Special Presentation- Geometric Unity: A First Look]]" was uploaded on April 2nd, 2020 as a general introduction to Geometric Unity. The video is divided into three sections: a preface, the lecture proper, and a supplementary PowerPoint presentation. The preface provides context based on historical and contemporary events and introduces the concept of a theory of everything. The lecture shown is a recording of the first lecture given at the University of Oxford. The PowerPoint reviews the lecture’s major concepts in a more up-to-date notation. | |||
