Abstract

In this essay we present a brief critical scrutiny of some popular theoretical models developed by the scientific community within the framework of Fundamental Physics. These models develop the hypothesis that it is possible that current physical laws can be derived or emerge from much more fundamental physical entities than those studied to date, which constitutes another way to achieve the Unification of said laws within a single common conceptual structure. We expose String-nets of Condensed Matter Physics, Loop Quantum Gravity, Superstrings and Branes, Entropic Gravity, the BCJ model, Stochastic Quantum Mechanics, Matrix Statistical Quantum Mechanics, and AdS/CFT Duality. These models are a small sample of an important trend that is gaining strong momentum within the scientific community.
