The Space of Theories vs The ONE theory -- An Intro to Renormalization

Is there one single theory that explains everything? Many think so, but is our scientific progress really heading in that direction?

Well, it turns out, from Einstein's relativity to the quantum theory of particles and string theories, none of these theories are perfect. They don't stand alone either. Instead, they exist within a kind of abstract space of theories, all connected by different levels of approximation. So, the idea of THE ONE theory might not be accurate because nature can be described effectively by many different theories in this space.

And this space of theories isn't just a bunch of abstract math. It helps us understand everything from how fluids move to how stock markets behave and even how AI works. But here's the thing: does this theory space cover everything there is to know, or is there more out there? And in the end, does THE ONE theory exist?
