at central europe, CERN is investing at large hadron collider where they emit electrons at light speed at opposite direction and try to take a glimps of the first few seconds of creation of universe...
now, the discussion...
1) how far are we from completion of this theory??
2) there`s one drawback from what I read recently, there`s little gap to merge einstein`s general relativity and quantum emchanics... two theory of largest and smallest thing in the universe....
p/s please put ur religion hat aside....
cheers
1st, CERN is not in Central Europe. It's West .. or rather slightly South West. now, the discussion...
1) how far are we from completion of this theory??
2) there`s one drawback from what I read recently, there`s little gap to merge einstein`s general relativity and quantum emchanics... two theory of largest and smallest thing in the universe....

2nd, if the LHC is a success, then we'll see what the universe was made of billionths of a second after the Big Bang .. not "first few seconds"
for your questions,
this theory could be completely wrong. nobody can say how long it will take to complete.
"little gap" is quite an understatement. einstein's equations do not hold up with Newtonian mechanics either when approaching light speed.
when scientists find out what exactly is mass (the main thing the LHC was built to find out) , then we'll probably get a completely new set of theories
