In this book, we analyze, from a self-taught perspective, the question, "Will there be a fundamental theory of the laws that govern the world we live in?" Shrouded in extreme abstraction embodied in self-described gobbledygook, accessible only to a trained practitioner, modern physics can seem like a capricious subject. Nevertheless, with perseverance, at least a rudimentary understanding of modern physics is available to the uninitiated spectator. This book is a testament to what can be learned from the outside looking in. The hope is that others will appreciate the simplicity of the ideas contained within modern physics once all the jargon is clarified.
