Solve the Universe was established by Matthew Foutch in 2009 to foster the exchange of ideas on fundamental scientific questions.
The core objectives are:
- To evolve ideas through open collaboration, recognizing that knowledge gains value when shared and applied.
- To enable ordinary individuals to contribute extraordinary insights, overcoming barriers such as fear of idea theft or lack of development resources.
- To serve as a platform for discussing unsolved problems in physics, cosmology, and beyond, without ridicule or restrictions.
- To credit contributors for valuable ideas while allowing exploration of all concepts to identify breakthroughs.
- To unite like-minded thinkers in a virtual think tank, applying known principles to unresolved mysteries.
Unsolved problems addressed include:
- The mechanics of brain function and consciousness.
- The origins and scale of the universe.
- The nature of magnetism and electricity.
- Unification of fundamental forces.
- Quantum gravity and the black hole information paradox.
- Matter-antimatter asymmetry and the arrow of time.
- Dark matter and dark energy.
This platform encourages action-oriented idea sharing, distinct from monetization efforts. Recent developments incorporate AI tools, such as Grok built by xAI, for refining theories like Push-Pressure Theory (PBT), advancing unification efforts.
