David Deutsch is the only person who has a theory of everything, not just for mechanics. He connects quantum theory (he wrote the first quantum algorithm), evolution (of genes and memes), and computation into the only true theory of everything. It's elegant, meaning the explanation of the theory is beautiful and highly structured. He presents it in The Fabric of Reality (1997) and has since been building it into constructor theory http://constructortheory.org/

I thought Penrose also has such a theory.
I don't think he has attempted to fold epistemology into physics or has a deep understanding of evolutionary epistemology and how it connects with computation or mechanics.
