Could there be a Central Truth in philosophy, as there may be a Unifying Theory in physics?

The Lost and Found Box

How could there not be a central truth in any field of knowledge? Most of us may be under the misconception that it not truth until it acquires a certain amount of validity. Especially in this case where validity would have to be substantiated in almost every corner of the globe. If that answer indeed be one a layman could easily contemplate upon as desired for the physics version of a unifying theory then we already have a clue as to its nature. Central truth to me implies a most perfect universal aspect. If reduced to a formulae would display characteristics of being both constant and variable. Perhaps similar to the hologram visible from all angles. Would it defy subjectivity? If it is indeed central and thus universal it would embody objectivity and embrace subjectivity after all it's nature, its very definition is to unify is it not? So let us think of the philosophical forces that need reconciliation for that may indeed be the primary purpose behind such a discovery.

Good and Evil tops my list of primary constituents that wouldhave to be rectified by this central truth. Emotions and logic would be second on my list to litmus test this central truth the very second I get wind of it. It is my sincerest desire that should someone find it that they will present it to the world in a timely fashion. I make the promise here and now that if it is me who discovers it. I will share it with the world for that is what it was designed for. Universal truth exist universally. Should this not imply that it may indeed be everywhere? That it is almost certainly staring us in the face day after precious day as if saying,

" Here I am, look at me, I am universal. I am primal. I am truth's common denominator. I am The Answer to The Question."

The question we asks throughout our entire adolescence and sometimes beyond. Why?

Why is there suffering? Why is there pain? Why is there death? Why does sorrow exist? Why is therenot enough joy for everyone? Why do we have wars? Why is there almost a billion hungry people on our world now? Why will half of us die from cancer? Why won't anyone answer me with a real answer?

Will this central truth feed the hungry? Will it provide shelter for the poor? Will it cure all disease? Will it enable us as a whole? Will it's discovery have the magnitude to transform each and every mind on the planet and enlighten us all? Will that transformation be swift or must we wait another decade, another century complicating the uncomplicated. Ratifying the unratifyable and thinking of Central Truth like a prize for the individual, like credit for the ego and kudos for the conquistadores.
