Some are wondering if a unified theory will converge using ideas of the 20th century. Scientists use quantum mechanics but say it is incomplete. Cosmologists use general relativity but are frustrated with attempts to reconcile large scale gravity with small scale physics. Astronomers and astrophysics continue to gather data with missions like WMAP, PLANCK and James Webb. But there are unresolved problems related to early observation of fully formed galaxies and Hubble measurements. There is no consensus regarding dark matter and dark energy. We know that nature is very precise and mathematical, but there is much to learn. Scientific American [8] published a review of the status of physics in their Millennium Special Issue. The article by the late Steven Weinberg was titled "A Unified Physics by 2050?" Unfortunately waiting is not very satisfying. Many want answers to fundamental questions about our existence. This paper proposes requirements and progress toward a unified theory to help researchers work toward a common vision [5]. A unified theory will gain acceptance if it satisfies these requirements:Agrees with particle data reported by the Particle Data Group [20][26], maintained by University of California at Berkeley and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Testing).
