M Theory with Coffee Pot

Theoretical physics and the discussion around the various ideas around unification theory and the discrepancies it has with general relativity are intriguing. This piece is a kind of representation of the discussion. The more recent M Theory (membrane) is a theory that tries to tie together the several points of String Theory to try to unify electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and gravity into one piece of stretchy fabric. 

Represented here is the membrane with an anomaly in the middle of its surface. The coffee pot percolating the ball chain is a string of ideas and is drawn into the black hole. The coffee pot is the starting point of the discussion.
