New discrete theory

[ensea2004]

Recently I found a paper about new theory. It seems a kind of digital physics.

The paper is located at this link http://figshare.com/articles/Nokton_theory/1549720

Is it a good candidate to be a theory of everything ?

I don't understand enough about the topic to comment on whether or not it makes sense, but I'm sort of put off by the bad English.

In such a complicated branch of physics, precision of language is important above all else. How are you going to explain something scientific if your wording leaves room for ambiguity, and would not receive a passing grade from a school teacher due to the number of misspellings and grammar mistakes? This counts double if your hypothesis (it's not a theory until it's peer reviewed and proven to work) attempts to overthrow established models entirely. It is the responsibility of the author to deliver credible proof, and bad language destroys credibility because it can be used to intentionally obfuscate logical inconsistencies.

There are two ways the author could have gone down:

- Publish the paper in his native language. There's no reason it needs to be in English to start with. If it is considered interesting, it will be translated by the scientific community.

- Or, get assistance from a native English speaker for proofreading and writing.

I agree with you, the paper wrote in bad english. But I think somme

As far as I can see the theory is like making a generalization of kinematics. Still, there're lots of rules, and these rules are... well, words... and good language capability is certainly needed.

From skimming over it, it is at best a (bad) attempt to discretize kinematics. Apart from the already mentioned bad English it is also stylistically bad. A lot of functions and terms are complicated for no reason. An example: he introduces "charges" Q_{-1},Q_{0},Q_{+1}, and then defines a function c that turns them into the respective numbers -1,0,1; a much more concise approach would be to simply use those numbers as charges. If you improve the notation his way in all places, the formulas should shrink by a lot.
