A Unification Theory of the Universe

This essay attempts to lay out a new, mathematical approach to how the universe was created. Starting from a few simple premises and axioms, it argues that the photon is the fundamental particle from which all other matter can be derived. The implications are far-reaching and momentous, from such radical notions as that there was no Big Bang, and that the Higgs boson does not exist, to the theory that has eluded physicists until now: the unification of the four interactive forces operating throughout the cosmos – gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
