Paint me skeptical.

Re: OT: The theory of everything?
 

Indeed. For one I think I'll wait to hear from a source with a little more credability.

Re: OT: The theory of everything?
 

Oh, the irony! That would be credibility. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

And so to the list of great scientific quotations down through the ages...

"Eureka!"

and

"Watson! Come here, I need you."

We can add...

"Holy crap, that's it!"

Would you consider the London Daily Telegraph a more credible source?

I'd also note that Einstein was a patent clerk when he was coming up with some of his most significant theories/ideas. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Hey, I never said it wasn't possible - I just don't think it's probable.

Re: OT: The theory of everything?
 

Heh, 'baby math'...I understood about the first page, and nothing further. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: OT: The theory of everything?
 

Being a clerk isn't a mark on Einsteins intelligence. The way I read it he went into work in the morning there were 2 or 3 patent requests he dealt with and he had nothing to do the rest of the day except work on his ideas.

There appear to be some flaws with the approach..

It would be a shame... it looks beautiful.

There are a lot of symmetries in physics... so injecting physics into complex symmetries (like the E8) is likely to come up with some apparent correlations.
