Prof. Dr. Svitlana Mayboroda

Born on December 15, 1981, in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Svitlana Mayboroda's early demonstration of her exceptional talent in mathematics set the stage for a distinguished career. After earning her Ph.D. from Purdue University in 2005, she consistently pushed the boundaries of her field. Her efforts were recognized with several prestigious accolades, including the Sloan Research Fellowship in 2010 and the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation.

During the tumultuous period known as the Collapse, Svitlana Mayboroda found refuge in a survival bunker near ETH Zurich. With a capacity of 200 people, the bunker served as a haven for a small community of academics, scientists, and intellectuals who sought to preserve human knowledge amidst the chaos unraveling above ground.

For 35 years, Mayboroda lived in this subterranean world, a life marked by resilience and an unyielding pursuit of knowledge. Isolated from the world she once knew, she dedicated herself to relearning the fundamentals of quantum theory and related disciplines. Devoid of the distractions and conveniences of her previous academic environment, Mayboroda's drive for understanding became more profound, fueled by the urgency of the times and the pressing need to rebuild the foundations of science.

The bunker, equipped with an extensive library of scientific texts, journals, and data archives, became her classroom. In the absence of active collaboration with her peers, she engaged in self-study, meticulously revising and expanding her knowledge base. The principles of quantum mechanics, the intricacies of particle physics, and the mysteries of the cosmos were re-explored with fresh eyes, each revelation a stepping stone towards her eventual groundbreaking work on the Eververse.

In 2060, when Mayboroda emerged from the bunker, she was not the same scientist who had entered it 35 years prior. The trials of isolation and the weight of the world's transformation had forged her into a visionary thinker, poised to challenge the prevailing paradigms of physics. Her time in the bunker, a period of introspection and intense study, had prepared her to tackle the complexities of the universe with renewed vigor and perspective.

Svitlana Mayboroda's career reached its zenith on May 1st, 2081, with her groundbreaking contribution to theoretical physics: a comprehensive and elegant "Theory of Everything," conceived at the age of 99. This revolutionary theory, which built upon Marcus Landsbury's pioneering work on the Expanded Laws of Gravity, seamlessly integrated this novel understanding of gravity with quantum mechanics. It postulated a deceptively simple yet all-encompassing framework that unified all known physical forces.

Her pioneering work, which came to be celebrated as the Eververse Theory, provided an innovative approach that interlaced the vast, curved geometries of general relativity with the bizarre and minute quantum realm. She presented a reality distilled to its essence, with just two elemental forces at play: torque and spin. Through her brilliant mathematical lens, she articulated a set of intricate interactions that bound these forces in a harmonious dance, suggesting that gravity was not a fundamental force but an emergent phenomenon—a mere feature arising from the symphony of the universe's fundamental expressions.

Her theory resolved longstanding tensions between the two pillars of modern physics. It offered an unprecedented insight into the fabric of the cosmos, effectively demystifying the complex interplay between energy, matter, space, and time. Her framework provided a coherent explanation that could potentially bridge the smallest scales of quantum particles to the cosmic tapestry of galaxies and black holes, a unifying principle that had eluded scientists for centuries.

In essence, Mayboroda's magnum opus suggested that the fundamental nature of reality could be boiled down to two primary constituents and their interactions. The simplicity and beauty of this notion captivated the scientific community, providing a new paradigm that would guide research into the very workings of the universe. She had not only extended Landsbury's laws but elevated them into a symphony of cosmic proportions, cementing her legacy in the annals of scientific history.

Despite the immediate acclaim her publication received, bringing her work into the spotlight of the scientific community, her passing just a few months later left her achievements partially overshadowed by Landsbury. Although her vital role in shaping the "Theory of Everything" was clear to those in the scientific community, the general public's recognition remained tangled with Landsbury's earlier contributions. Thus, while Landsbury was often referred to as the father of the Eververse, it was Mayboroda's brilliant synthesis that crystallized the theory, offering a revolutionary perspective on the fabric of reality.

Mayboroda's legacy lives on through her "Theory of Everything," guiding future researchers in their quest to explore the vast complexities of the universe. Her work continues to inspire, serving as the cornerstone of countless advancements in the realm of all sciences.
