Absolutely, it is possible so I don't think you're barking up the wrong tree.
But the unified theory should be a fundamental theory to explain all the forces/particles in one symmetrical theory. Many of these have been proposed such as "supersymmetry" and superstrings.
What I am becoming skeptical about is whether or not these theories will ever be VERIFIED by experiments. If they find the Higgs boson at CERN someday, that will pretty much prove the standard model. But they will have to discover a lot more particles to prove these other theories, and I'm not at all sure they ever will.
