I think the neglect of the first theory of everything is a bad thing.

I have updated wikipidia to say that the first theory of everything is
Boscovich's theory.




First theory of everything survives another day on wikipedia-

I have found out that John D. Barrow, Professor of mathematical sciences and
director of the millenium mathematics project at Cambridge University,
Gresham Professor of astronomy and a Fellow of the Royal Society, says that
Boscovich's theory was the first theory of everything. I have updated
Wikipedia with this information.

Similarly, there are dissident scientists on NPA list that say that
Boscovich's theory was the first theory of everything.
I say not only is it the first, but it works.

regards

Roger.

Roger Joseph Boscovich (see names in other languages; May 18, 1711 -
February 13, 1787) was a Croatian physicist, astronomer, mathematician,
philosopher, diplomat, poet, and Jesuit from Ragusa (today Dubrovnik, in
Croatia) who lived for a time in France, England and some Italian states
[1].

He is famous for his atomic theory, given as a clear, precisely-formulated
system utilizing principles of Newtonian mechanics. This work inspired
Michael Faraday to develop field theory for electromagnetic interaction, and
was even a basis for Albert Einstein's attempts for a unified field theory,
according to Einstein's coworker Lancelot Law Whyte[2]. Also according to
John D. Barrow, Professor at Cambridge University and a Fellow of the Royal
Society: Boscovich was the first to envisage,seek, and propose a
mathematical theory of all the forces of Nature; the first scientific theory
of everything. [3] Boscovich also gave many important contributions to
astronomy, including the first geometric procedure for determining the
equator of a rotating planet from three observations of a surface feature
and for computing the orbit of a planet from three observations of its
position. In 1753 he also discovered the absence of atmosphere o
