When you say that physicists deal with an objective reality only, Bob, then you are actually putting the finger on the sore spot. When it comes to the Big Picture, physicists are not dealing with it objectively; they only deal with an objective reality in specifics. For the Big Picture, they use a subjective approach. They demand the storyline is told in their way, and so they are sitting on God’s throne trying to figure out where God is.

Yet I like your answer very much because it actually points out correctly what I am writing about in this article: Scientists are following their own approach, and when looking for the Big Picture they can't figure the Big Picture out because they think their own approach is always correct. They think they are using the only correct approach there is. They believe there is just one simple format to reality (emphasis on one).

Hint: the word 'everything' in the Theory of Everything' is of course not a scientific word.

The whole realm we live in (i.e. the universe) is not whole, yet physicists consider it possible. They have not eliminated the one option that is structurally impossible. They include something that cannot be.

Gödel already pointed out that we always find an incompleteness when trying to come to the whole. Physicists push Gödel to the side, ignore him.

So, I know for a fact that physicists are using a subjective approach (when talking about the Big Picture). Once they embrace Gödel, then they may get to an objective approach, but they will have to work that angle real hard compared to where they are today. Plus, their idea of a Unified Field of Forces will then have to get reworked to at minimum have Two Fields of Forces.

One cannot live in a result and have it be based on a unified field of forces (other than one with two fields of forces, which is then an abstraction for unification of all forces).
