Which set of equations govern everything we know in the universe? Is it really just these two (in natural units)?

[math] \displaystyle (i\partial/-m)\phi=0 [/math]

[math] \displaystyle G_{\mu\nu}-8\pi T_{\mu\nu}=0 [/math]

If not, what other equation(s) need to be added to include everything? I guess you could argue that this could be added to the mix:

[math] \displaystyle H^2=\frac{8\pi}{3}\epsion-\frac{\kappa}{a^2R_0^2} [/math]

What does /sci/ think?

no such thing

> Is it really just these two (in natural units)?

definitely not

>If not, what other equation(s) need to be added to include everything?

A lot

The universe is not describable in closed form.

proof?

>>8133408
Add the Standard Model Lagrangian but what exactly do you mean by equations that govern everything
>>
>>8133470
A set of equations from which all other physical laws can be derived.
>>
So far we have:

> Dirac's equation
> Einstein field equations
> Friedmann equation
> Standard model lagrangian

Can every physical process be understood from these equations, or do we need more? Are there any that can be eliminated?
I don't know much about particle physics... can Dirac's equation be derived from the standard model lagrangian?
>>
>>8133487
Dirac is derived from standard model and friedmann is derived from einstein

>>8133408
There's a fundamental part of computer science that also relates to entropy that might also be a first principle
>>
>>8133408
None do.
You don't understand fundamental principle of physics.
Physics doesn't aim to find a "truth".

>Which set of equations govern everything we know in the universe?

Physics isn't about reverse engineering the source code of the universe. Think more in terms of emulators that work "well enough" for our purposes.

Yeah, there are lots of fermions in the standard model. If you get rid of all other particles and their interactions, you get the Dirac equation.
Likewise the Friedmann equation is just one particular solution to the EFEs.

I think most physicists believe there is a fundamental description of nature, but disagree about how close that is.
String theory is valid at all energies, unlike regular old quantum field theory, which seems to suggests it is truly fundamental.

Even your picture knows you're wrong.

Can the Dirac equation describe particles with spin greater than 1/2?
