Re: OT: The theory of everything?
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!"

For those mathematically inclined readers. For what it's worth, Lisi considers this "baby math".

Re: OT: The theory of everything?
I'd also note that Einstein was a patent clerk when he was coming up with some of his most significant theories/ideas.  |

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. |
