Maybe. I like to thing there’s some higher spatial dimensional force that explains all of them and we can unify all the forces once and for all.

Sadly even if true it’s not falsifiable. Such is the dilemma of not being omniscient.

Personally I believe it simply makes more sense for there to only be a single force that explains it all.

Sounds like you’re trying to find God in science. Whether or not that’s a fool’s game is maybe for a smarter person than me to say.

You can't easily falsify "there's a simpler equation" but you can get pretty sure after a while. And you can definitely find it if it exists.
