Four grand theories, two of them written down

Ivan Beloguzov has spent almost five years building four theories he wants to connect with quantum mechanics and general relativity, and two of them are now written down explicitly.

The class was called Discovery Hour, and its purpose was to perform research and produce a research paper. Ivan Beloguzov, then in grade 8, read the brief his own way. "What I interpreted it as is to perform research and create something new," he says. For over two weeks he had no progress, he says, until he stumbled on the idea of gravitational force influencing quantum fields.

"That's where it all began," he says.

“Everything hard is easy and everything easy is hard.”

Gravitational Stretch Theory, which describes how gravitational force affects quantum fields and vice versa, was the first theory he made. It is one of four grand theories he has been developing since, which he wants to connect with quantum mechanics and general relativity. Denotation Number Theory uses the concept of infinity to create new mathematical and physical axioms; it was reviewed by his grade 12 physics teacher, graded an A, and he calls it the building block for the other three. Multi-Energetical Quantum Field Theory starts from a question he asks everyone before explaining it: "Wouldn't you agree that everything is made of energy?" He takes that idea seriously and believes energy may be the building block of everything. Time Reversal Theory, he says, is the least developed of the four.

"For now, only 2 of the grand 4 theories are written down explicitly," he says.

"Since childhood, I have been fascinated by astronomy, physics, and mathematics, driven by curiosity about how the world works," he says. School came late. "My early focus was survival due to an unstable household," he says, and he describes going to a real education facility for the first time roughly a year before the grade 8 class. He says he frequently studied for 16 hours a day to learn more about physics and mathematics, and that after almost five years he has accumulated over a dozen works and hundreds of ideas.

He is careful about what he claims. He is working on understanding rotations in the complex plane using linear algebra, he says, because it might explain the rotations of the energy fields he describes, and he calls the connection an assumption rather than a result. He wants to understand linear algebra at a fundamental level. Outside physics he has written up a small project for his chemistry class, which he says may also help other students.

He plans to continue. The goal, he says, is a "Theory of Everything".
