Born from biology, Unitary Field Theory is a true general theory of space and time applicable to all realms – physical, biological, psychological, and sociological. It is an explicit process theory that takes the environment and the basic field into consideration. It recognizes that there is a pervasive ordering process in the universe.

The tool enabling that historical revolution was the scientific method of investigation, based on quantity. The agents were Kepler (1571–1630) and Galileo (1564–1642), among others. They proclaimed that measurement holds the key to the understanding of nature. With the development of analytical geometry by Descartes (1596–1650), the way was opened for Newton (1642–1726) to discover the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which laid down the foundation for classical mechanics.
Newton derived his laws of motion from the observation of the movement of the planets, and in the mathematics he assumed the reversibility of time. By “reversible” it is meant that the laws governing the process remain unchanged when the direction of time is reversed—when -t is substituted for +t in the equations. In the real world, this means it does not matter to the laws of motion whether the planets rotate from left to right or from right to left. After confirmation of Newton’s laws, it was assumed by physics that all elementary processes in nature were reversible.
