Since the age of Albert Einstein, physicists have been looking for a theory of everything. The goal of uniting all the physics principles and fields has always been chasing. Inspired by this idea and observing the reality, we can easily find that not only in physics, but there are also strong similarities between many disciplines, and they are not just in the fields of science. For example, music and painting. In a piece of good work, instruments and colours both require harmony. And harmony is also an important part of ecology, maths and so on.
With this observation, there could be a network that links everything with everything. The bridges between different fields are the theories that shared by both fields. One bridge does seem weak, but if the knowledge from a massive number of experts could be gathered, the map of the universe and human society could be sketched. Just like a jigsaw puzzle.With this map, the education of next generation could be optimized owing to some advantages. Such as a more open-minded environment and macro-understanding. And the knowledge is organized in an organic way that make it more accessible.
Back to the reality, building such a network is definitely a long-time project, and it may could never been completed. Because finding a one-to-one bridge between one property in a field and one property in another field is never easy. It requires a deep understanding of both fields. Meanwhile, the knowledge of our civilization is keep growing. So, the map could also keep growing, instead of being completed. Thus, a regulation must be enacted. For example, the peer-review system for the universality, reference and data for the reliability, and regular check for information up to date.
Hi Isabel,
The concept is an interesting beginning to your thought process, but I'd like you to ask 3 things: 1) What does this mean in practise? Is it a piece of software where experts in different fields offer their services to help others who need it?
2) Who would use the map?
3) What is the practical benefit? For example, sharing expertise?
I think if you can answer these questions you'll be able to turn your concept into something more practical. Keep it up!!

HI Isabel
I agree that progress in a field is difficult to track without a visual higher level visual. That said I feel the thoughts you have laid out need to lead to something actionable. You mention that a regulation must be enacted - could you elaborate on what this would be, who would do it and how this would play out?
in summary I think the idea is high level and has the right intention but you need to zoom in to some detail and more importantly connect this with the sustainability goals laid out for this project.

Hi @Isabel Song. I'm not sure if there has been any confusion but your team ID should be D22-016. Can you check your initial email from us and change your title to reflect this please?
