Powering Progress

Introducing FirstPrinciples, a non-profit

organization dedicated to advancing out understanding

of the universe's fundamental principle.

Our Moonshot: Unifying Physics in 10 Years 

Our goal is to build an autonomous AI Physicist capable of developing a new theoretical framework that unifies (or transcends) quantum mechanics and general relativity by the end of 2035.

This framework should help explain some of the most profound open questions in fundamental physics, such as dark matter and dark energy, the arrow of time, matter–antimatter asymmetry, hierarchy of fundamental forces, and the underlying structure of spacetime at the smallest scales.

The 10-year horizon is intentional: long enough to attempt something extraordinary, but short enough to demand urgency, focus, and collective effort today. It is not only about unifying physics, but about uniting people around one of humanity’s greatest shared pursuits - pushing the boundaries of knowledge together.

If this moonshot is achieved, it will mark a transformational step in humanity’s understanding of the universe. Even if the full unification takes longer, we believe that the progress made along the way will reshape how science is done, accelerating discovery for generations to come.

AI Physicist

The AI Physicist is a domain-specialized system designed to explore and uncover the fundamental laws of nature. While still in its early stages, it is designed to evolve into a fully autonomous research engine - one capable of formulating its own questions, proposing new hypotheses, validating them with simulations and data, and continuously improving itself over time.

Built by the team at FirstPrinciples, it is engineered to meet the rigor, transparency, and reproducibility that science demands. 

By combining insights from theoretical physics with advances in machine reasoning, the AI Physicist aims to expand the frontiers of science and accelerate discovery in ways that go beyond human intuition alone.
