Already in these objects together is enough information to begin a serious study of physics at its most fundamental level and comprehend the deep connections between mathematics and physics. Yet, almost no one knows or seeks them. Further still, as recently as the 1950s we were confused about the structure of the universe: we didn't know the world is left-right asymmetric, as discovered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chien-Shiung_Wu Madame Wu], and we didn't know the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aharonov%E2%80%93Bohm_effect Aharonov-Bohm effect], which demonstrated that the electromagnetic field is less important than the electromagnetic potential. In the mid-1970s as well, Jim Simons and C.N. Yang showed that particle theory is completely geometric. Both of these developments are little known among the public. That the Graph, the Wall, and the Tome and these recent foundational developments are unknown is evidence that something is off in how we communicate science and hand down our knowledge. | Already in these objects together is enough information to begin a serious study of physics at its most fundamental level and comprehend the deep connections between mathematics and physics.

Beyond Graph, Wall, Tome is the '''Search''', the search for a theory of everything. Ventures that may be considered part of the search are String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, Garrett Lisi's E8, and [[Eric Weinstein|Eric Weinstein's]] [[Theory of Geometric Unity|Geometric Unity]]. Graph, Wall, Tome can serve as a road to participate in the Search, though it should not be confused for the Search, and the Search should not be confused for it. | Beyond Graph, Wall, Tome is the '''Search''', the search for a theory of everything.
