Fichte tried to establish unity between practical and theoretical reason. Practical reason describes how we should act in the world, while theoretical reason how the world is constructed (maths, physics, metaphysics). What do you think? Maybe the laws of physics and the ultimate moral law (categorical imperative) come from the very same source - Reason. That is, the Universe exists as moral-physical system where self-conscious autonomous subjects necessarily exist at some point to realise the moral law. What do you think?

I have worked on this topic and tried to unite physics, maths and ethics:

What do you think?

I didn't understand the problem... what exactly is the problem?

Problem comes from Kant's philosophy. There is no unity between practical reason (how we ought to act) and theoretical reason (how the physical world works). Fichte tries to establish this unity. That is, the source of maths, laws of physics and the source of morality is the same and not separate.
In trying to find a unified theory which would explain all fundamental forces of physics we need to look for a theory which at the same time explain morality!

With the irrational nature of humans, it's but a butterfly's dream..
