This paper attempts to provide a unified description of the laws of physics. In the text, a novel category of complex numbers, the so-called ai-complex numbers, is presented. These numbers are particularly useful for describing mass and charge in the form of a single complex quantity. If one combines mass and charge in this new ai-complex quantity, space and all space-dependent vector quantities can be described in the form of ai-complex biquaternions. For the description of vector quantities, a reduced complex biquaternion is needed. Following this method, a very elegant, consistent, and concise formulation of the well-known laws of physics can be written. In this formulation, the theory of relativity follows directly when ct is defined as a further, fourth dimension. The laws of electrodynamics, the laws of mechanics, and the laws of quantum theory also follow. Furthermore, the laws of electrodynamics and the laws of gravitation can be condensed. In this case, for the description of the condensed fields, the full ai-complex biquaternion is needed. An interesting possibility for the description of nuclear energy also follows from introducing the new physical quantity constructed from mass and charge.
