Now that you've got that unified field theory...

...you need Michio Kaku to tell you what to do next. The important bits:

1) Try to summarize the main idea or theme in a single paragraph. As Einstein once said, unless a theory has a simple underlying picture that the layman can understand, the theory is probably worthless.

2) If you have a serious proposal for a new physical theory, submit it to a physics journal, just as Physical Review D or Nuclear Physics B. [ed: at this point I started wondering if this was an elaborate joke. Got some physics? How about a physics journal! Hmmmm....]

3) Remember that your theory will receive more credibility if your theory builds on top of previous theories, rather than making claims like "Einstein was wrong!"

4) Try not to use vague expressions that cannot be formulated precisely or mathematically, such as "time is quantized," "energy is space," or "space is twisted," or "energy is a new dimension," etc. Instead, try to use mathematics to express your ideas.

5) Once formulated mathematically, it's then relatively easy for a theoretical physicist to determine the precise nature of the theory. At the very least, your theory must contain the tensor equations of Einstein and the quantum theory of the Standard Model.

6) Most important, try to formulate an experiment that can test your idea.

I am happy with your advice about the proposal of unfied filed theory.I am sure you will help me when I finsh my proposal.
thank you very much.
