a) The theory of everything (if there is one) would explain everything in the universe, from quantum particles to spiral galaxies. A theory of everything (TOE) is a hypothetical framework explaining all known physical phenomena in the universe.
b) The theory of everything is a proposed notion in the scientific community which states that there is one all-encompassing theory
that proposes a framework of understanding of all of physics, combining
the quantum mechanics and classical physics into a unified approach
which explains the laws of the universe.
c) Emergence can also describe a system's function — what the system does
by virtue of its relationship to its environment that it would not do by
itself.

Emerge Art is the missing link that clinches the disparate unification theories.
MY transdisciplinary practice is built upon the equation I arrived at that resumes the Theory of Everything (TOE): E = MC 2 / G + RF = T + S. The objective of TOE is to arrive at the most elegant solution that will account for everything in the universe.
I approach the problem of TOE from the perspective of a visual artist. The proof I want for my equation will come from visually observable and catalogable phenomena. I formulate a hypothesis that I explore through a creative process. When I write the scientific articles that accompany my exploration I again express what I envision supported by the works of many scientific researchers.
In the case of
Emerge Art I prepare an installation that serves as the subject to be "discussed" with the water. I place a bowl of water in the center and proceed to take photographs. The composition MUST be surrounded by the right kind of
light to become expressive. Too much light keeps the water flat, or ordinary, non responsive. Too little light makes the water black. At night, water is black. In the example I use for this article I placed the bowl of water in the center of several books on the history of
Cirque du Soleil, an internationally renowned circus whose innovations revolutionized this art form. In the example here, I got an extraordinary sequence where one can see a beautiful ghost like lady with a magnificent hat. Her eyes open and shut. A burst of light comes through at some point. This burst of light is a feature I have often seen manifest in the most stunning
Emerge Art I photographed.
AFTER YEARS OF OBSERVATIONS where I assumed that water was the source of the image making faculty I had to reevaluate my assumption. My idea did not fit with TOE even if I felt it was an unquestionable clue towards a deeper understanding of it. I returned to the
Big Bang theory to review the evolution of the universe. Let me lead you down my journey. What I learned At McGill University about the Big Bang was that there had been a massive explosion followed by major activity by gravity to clump atoms into new molecules, stars, planets and so on.
Gravity created stars :
" In summary, gravity is the force that creates the pressure to fuse atoms, which makes the stars shine. ... Eventually the temperature is high enough that the star starts fusing hydrogen into helium. When the outward pressure produced by the heating of the gas by fusion energy balances gravity, a stable star is formed. " ecuip.lib.uchicago.edu › astrophysics
Stars created light and water:
" The nebula from which stars form contains not only Hydrogen, but also all the other elements found on Earth. The nebula contains the Carbon that is
the basis of life, the Nitrogen that forms the atmosphere, the Silicon
that makes rocks, and the oxygen that reacts with hydrogen to form water.
... H2O cannot exist in stars, but H and O separately can. Hydrogen is the
basic building material of the universe, created in the Big Bang. Oxygen
is created by nuclear reactions in stars. If you put H and O together
in the cold of space, you get H2O... "

Going down this line I can no longer say that the image is created by water per se. Furthermore I was confronted with the work I did with gravity and plants vs the apparent incongruity of Emerge Art to TOE.
THEN ONE DAY I read about the work of Kenneth Chau, Associate Professor Electrical at University of British Columbia and had a aha moment. Here is the paragraph that enlightened me:
" Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, so even though photons (particles of light) have zero rest mass,
their velocity is enormous (literally the speed of light) and they’re
never really at rest, so they have a tiny effective mass. (Light is both particle and wave.) That means they have a positive momentum, which can give a little kick
to anything light crashes into. Plus, if you conceptualize light as a
bunch of particles, it’s not crazy to imagine those things moving around
matter as they bump into it. "

LIGHT IS BOTH PARTICLE AND WAVE! 💡
SOME SCIENTISTS grappling with the Big Bang suggest the universe was dense matter while others suggest it was some form of yet unknown dense energy. Something caused a sudden irreversible change and shot an arrow of time we are now playing out, from our perspective. Emerge Art shows how light within a specific environment, while being observed, can create a coherent independent image as it moves through water. Light gives a little kick to water as it crashes through it. This suggests that the Big Bang could be a phenomena of creation similar to what happens when water and light jump to create an image my human mind can comprehend in a way similar to a glyph, a symbolic figure or a character, used in ancient cultures to record their history. In other words, light moving through water can transmit information, knowledge, language.
The focus of Kenneth Chau's work concerns designing microchips and fiber optics technology that uses light to transmit information. Our generation thrives in all manners of light based technologies. What connects with me here is that light transmits information.
NOW let's review the Big Bang from the perspective that light has a tiny effective mass. " Anything that has mass also has gravity. Objects with more mass have more gravity. " This means light particles possess quantum gravity and there would be no purpose to finding a graviton. If at the Big Bang enough light-as-particles decided to bump into each other until they exploded into creation and then divided and clumped into clans of atoms, molecules planets and life, we have the solution as to how a mass of indeterminate energy became endless galaxies, stars, dimensions. The rotating force is a feature of light and also a feature of how gravity holds systems together. If you add dark mass and dark energy to the solution, I like what scientists working on fiber optics say about light as they see it in wireless communications: " light goes a certain distance before it scatters and goes dark." This makes me see dark energy/dark matter as wave/mass where there exists a frequency/wavelength that is dark energy = the E of E = MC 2 and dark matter = the MC 2 of E = MC 2, both part of the duality of light.
FINALLY I add what scientists require before they would acknowledge that a TOE is successful:
The first thing to acknowledge is that it is hard to develop any coherent theory that unites relativity with quantum mechanics.
Second, the measure of any new theory is the testable predictions it makes that distinguish it from other theories.

Emerge Art is the missing link that clinches the disparate unification theories. It unites relativity with quantum mechanics because it shows how quantum systems can operate on large scales as the waves and particles of light combine in water to create recognizable images, MEANING, that transmit information. Every
Emerge Art I have produced manifested successfully my prediction that, by putting a bowl of water in my installations, frequencies and wavelengths would create an image that was unique that I could photograph. Our ancestors, ancient and not so ancient, knew all about this faculty of water but, until recently, we could not photograph it. Because now we can photograph it, it is evidence that meaning, language, what ancestors called "the Word", are potent forces that play a huge role in the physics of our reality.
The applications of my equation were explored through my art practice because I am an artist. I can only dream about what people in other disciplines will be able to do with it.
