Added quote that I forgot
==Kaluza-Klein Theory==
==Kaluza-Klein Theory==
It says that no theory has ever unified gravity with electromagnetism. While not proven, Kaluza-Klein theory was developed decades ago and does exactly this. One other thing is that it says e=mc^2 cannot be derived from first principles. Could someone explain what is wrong with current derivations. Also this part doesn't seem to make any sense. I tried rewriting it, but it was reverted and my addition put in a footnote, so I'm guessing I misunderstood it.

"The formula asserts that the mass of an object, at constant energy, magically varies precisely in inverse proportion to the square of a change in the speed of light over time"
