Abstract

The article considers the source of discordance between basic concepts and principles which puts obstacles to creating “the Theory of Everything”. This discordance roots in classical scientific ideas many of which are excessively empirical on the one hand and excessively absolutized on the other hand. The path to the general theory lies in the coordination of basic scientific concepts through their operational redefining on the basis of unified universal principles.
