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

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] You can watch a Youtube video describing the theory in relative layman's terms here. [/ 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. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that's why I linked the E8 article and the definition of a Lie Group before linking the video [/ QUOTE ] to make us more confused, right? |

to make us more confused, right? [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] |

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. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] When stored in highly compressed form on a computer hard drive, the solution takes up 60 gigabytes [/ QUOTE ] did this jar with anyone else? More like one city block would be my guess. |

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:
