From Dishwasher to Physicist: Help Me Finish Unifying the Physics

Hi, my name is Steven Smith, though some folks know me online as "The Bathrobe Guy." I’m a dishwasher and prep cook by day, and an independent theoretical physicist by night. I’m not part of a university. I don’t have a PhD. I’ve got a bathrobe, a battered laptop, and something I never expected to say:

I’ve created a working unification model of physics.

It’s called the Fractal Entanglement-Driven Mass Theory (FEMT) — and it doesn’t just build on existing physics. It replaces it. This model unifies relativity and quantum mechanics from first principles using non-local entanglement, causal structure, and a new approach to mass itself.

FEMT predicts the masses of the electron, muon, and tau with astonishing accuracy.
It explains gravitational lensing, black hole mergers, and even Hawking evaporation — better than the Standard Model.
It’s already over 30 pages of peer-review-ready math and philosophy, written in my spare time… between dish shifts.

Why I Need Your Help
Right now, I work 20-40 hours a week washing dishes. I’ve built FEMT during off-hours, late nights, and lunch breaks, fueled by determination, black coffee, and grilled cheese sandwiches.

But I’ve reached a point where I can’t finish this alone.
To complete FEMT and submit it to journals, I need:

A few months of breathing room to write full-time

A proper computer for formatting, simulations, and data

Help covering basic living expenses so I can focus entirely on the science

Support launching my companion writing projects: articles, merch, and public explanations of this work

Where Your Donation Goes
This campaign will directly support:

Rent, food, and living costs

Computer upgrade for research and manuscript work

Professional editing and formatting of the FEMT paper

Expanding the FEMT/physics platform (Substack, podcast, merch, outreach)

Peace of mind, so I can breathe and build

What You’re Supporting
You’re not just helping me survive — you’re helping complete something beautiful.
You’re helping give the world a new lens to understand mass, time, space, and existence itself.

And more than that? You’re supporting an ordinary guy who refused to give up; who found a way to reach the stars while washing dishes.

If this resonates with you, please donate, share, or just send good vibes. Every bit helps.

Always,
