Maybe^1000, then ya maybe. However very facinating.

You can watch a Youtube video describing the theory in relative layman's terms here.

QFBE

(Quoted for Brain Explode)

I enjoyed the pretty colors and movement of the video and how everything aligned, but I had to do some googling on my own to figure out what everything is. Very cool stuff though, once I wrapped my head around it.

Yeah, that's why I linked the E8 article and the definition of a Lie Group before linking the video

this article is about cutting edge nuclear physics and cutting edge math; it's going to be difficult to understand.

I just wish our smartest scientists would spend a little less time thinking up huge untestable / very expensively testable theories with little practical application and more time working on things like the Microwave invisibility cloak, hoverboard, etc.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — An international team of mathematicians has cracked a 120-year-old puzzle that researchers say is so complicated that its handwritten solution would cover the island of Manhattan.

When stored in highly compressed form on a computer hard drive, the solution takes up 60 gigabytes

did this jar with anyone else? More like one city block would be my guess.

60GB of highly compressed TEXT is a lot of numbers and letters imo.

This is very cool.

Re: Grand Unified Theory Solved... Maybe
 

I showed this to a friend of mine who studies physics and then we did a little poking around on the internet. This is getting suspiciously little media attention and no mainstream academic attention and there are at least some people saying the guy is a total crackpot:

Sorry to ruin the fun.
