Hmm just a thought, but doesnt Heisenbergs principle of Uncertainty negate the existence of any single theory or equation that can explain everything in a deterministic way? I'm just getting this off the top of the head, and would welcome any refuting

Yeah I know regarding the background of Heisenbergs principle (both momentum AND position of particle cannot be accurately determined at the same time), but a theory of everything in my book should be able to override this. In other words, randomness would cease to be in a universe where a certain fundamental equation can explain every single occurrence. I believe this is one of the paradoxes that theorists have greatly debated about. Shall give it more reading when I have more free time

On a sidenote, imho Einstein was a total brainiac, but at the same time approached things with a set outcome in his mind. He might have achieved more had he not been so set in his ideals of a static universe etc
