Grand Unified Theory Solved... Maybe
Linky: Garrett Lisi may have solved Grand Unified Theory of nature. General Story
To sum up: recently solved E8 Lattice (the most complicated Lie Group), whose solution is 60 gigabytes (compressed) apparently matches very well with our current theory of subatomic particle & strong / weak / electric forces theory. Lisi proposes 20 new particles to fill out the lattice, which he claims describe gravity. To date no particles that cause gravity have yet been detected. You can watch a Youtube video describing the theory in relative layman's terms here. |

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 etc.

It's pretty interesting stuff, and those metamaterials have other potentially nice applications as well (the most commonly cited one being high quality near-field lensing.) If somebody in the industrial world started working on this stuff, it's the kind of thing that I think would be right up my alley when I graduate. |

It's also the reason why I support the flourishing of the market and the demise of the state. That way, people's actual values (like yours, because you said "I just wish") will get fullfilled. |

I think Assani Fisher has done some good work in this field

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
