Fundamentaltheorie
Fundamentaltheorie, or Fundamental Theory, is a term used in philosophy and theoretical physics to describe the search for the most basic and universal principles governing the universe. This pursuit aims to identify the underlying laws and constituents from which all other phenomena can be derived. In physics, this often translates to the quest for a unified theory, such as a "theory of everything," that reconciles quantum mechanics and general relativity. Such a theory would provide a single, consistent framework explaining all fundamental forces and particles.
The concept of fundamental theory also touches upon foundational questions about the nature of reality, causality,
