Abstract
The title The Unity of Physics expresses the conjecture that it might be feasible to summarize all of physics, as far as fundamental laws are concerned, in one single theory. We have divided the outline of such a reconstruction of physics into two parts. The second part will deal with the significance of time, or more to the point, the mutual relevance of past, present, and future in physics. There only time will be at issue, but not the unity of physics.
