Unified Field Theory

In the beginning there was Aristotle

And objects at rest tended to remain at rest

And objects in motion tended to come to rest

And soon everything was at rest

And God saw that it was boring.

Then God created Newton

And objects at rest tended to remain at rest

But objects in motion tended to remain in motion

And energy was conserved and momentum was conserved

and matter was conserved

And God saw that it was conservative.

Then God created Einstein

And everything was relative

And fast things became short

And straight things became curved

And the universe was filled with inertial frames

And God saw that it was relatively general

But some of it was especially relative.

Then God created Bohr

And there was the Principle

And the Principle was Quantum

And all things were Quantized

But some things were still Relative

And God saw that it was confusing.

Then God was going to create M

And M would have unified

And M would have fielded a theory

And All would have been One

But it was the seventh day

And God rested

And objects at rest tend to remain at rest.
