Little Neutral One
To look a bit colser to TOE, we can still see theory giving form to change. Pauli discovered the subatomic partical, the neutrino, but trying to explain the incongruencies of beta decay. The problem of energy balances brought into question basic fundamental questions about the very validity of chemical (mechnical) principles.
Although this dulality problem threatned to rock thefoundations of physics, this was not something new. Light had already proven itslef to be the same way.
The basic issues concord a duality bewteen field and partical theories, that was in fact closely akin ot the wave-partical dulity of quantum theory (Henrdy, p8).

Begining with the dulaity of light, the duality of quantum mechanics has to exist for all of chemistry and physics to maintain one of its most basic teennents. This "little neutral one" was imparitive for energy conservation, but it also opened the door for both quantum mechanics and critisism. How accurate could a "save the phanomina theory be if it couldn't even be tested?
Well, as time passesd, people did figure out how to test for the netrino, and finally did. Arising from this research and theory, we cound after 30years not only the neutrino but new nuclear and subatomic reactions and even a new set of interactions known today as the weak force. As Gale explains in the Theory of Sciences, the heavy cosmic rays helped lead to the dectection of the neutrino from its emergance/decomposition to the muon. Here in is the example of causal spacetime decription for atomic processes that both dominate the area of quantum mechanics and seek to be explained in relation to each other (p169-192).
