This volume provides a summary of the current state of fundamental physics by bringing together the prefaces, which provide a summary of each of the eleven volumes, that I published between March 2023 and January 2025. Examination of new papers which attempt to integrate the fourth interaction, gravity, with the Standard Model of particle physics, describing the other three fundamental forces of nature, the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions, demonstrated the need for a single volume which pulls together the current state of all of the theories described in my books. My conclusion in 'New Physics' was that 'elementary and composite particles with mass attract each other through the gravitational interaction or gravitational force resulting from quantum entanglement between matter', which introduced 'a quantum theory of gravity'. But it was not clear how and to what extent the new theories corresponded to this. So, my first task was to summarize my previous analysis on which this conclusion was based.
