Unlikely. I used to go looking for tasks that couldn't be broken down; I'd get excited when someone would claim that their task couldn't be broken down. But they always could, and it was never even hard.

My task is to implement a model that takes advantage of unified field theory to simulate arbitrary bodies in spacetime, first the mathematical models behind it need to be created then implemented in software.

Sure, sounds straightforward enough. Start with simple cases (e.g. universe is a unit circle), you can definitely implement useful pieces within two weeks.

That's not a real (i.e. user-facing) requirement.

You should follow your own plan, a Nobel prize in physics awaits.

There's no money in doing useful incremental pieces of physics (and precious little even for the big milestones), unfortunately.
