Abstract
Any theoretical interpretation of the physical world will contain some assumptions. However, only after explaining the physical world completely, can we be sure that the assumptions are correct. Till that time, we can try alternate assumptions. Then there are silent assumptions; these are used whenever required, but never acknowledged properly. One such silent assumption in the present-day theoretical physics is that ‘any law that holds good in mathematics, holds good in physics also’. This is an utterly wrong assumption that has to be removed. Other assumptions that may be wrong are the following: 1. Energy is an independent entity; 2. Gravity is infinite 3. Space and time are not real. If we take directly opposite views in these cases, it would be possible to frame a set of explanations that may eventually lead us to the theory of everything.
