Theoretical Frameworks for Unified Field Theory: Progress and Challenges

Abstract

Unified Field Theory (UFT) stands as one of the most ambitious endeavors in theoretical physics, aiming to reconcile the fundamental forces of nature into a single coherent framework. This paper reviews the progress and challenges encountered in the development of theoretical frameworks for UFT. Through an analysis of existing literature, it examines the evolution of key theoretical approaches, such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and quantum field theory, in the quest for a unified description of the fundamental interactions. The paper also discusses the methodological and conceptual hurdles that continue to impede progress in achieving a complete and consistent theory of everything.
