“Now Lisi, currently in Nevada, has come up with a proposal to do this. Lee Smolin at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, describes Lisi’s work as “fabulous”. “It is one of the most compelling unification models I’ve seen in many, many years,” he says.”

That thar is an impressive endorsement. O_O

Re: In winter, he heads to the mountains near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, where he snowboards. "Being poor sucks," Lisi says. "It's hard to figure out the secrets of the universe when you're trying to figure out where you and your girlfriend are going to sleep next month."

And he summers in Hawaii. Gadzooks! Wish... I was that poor!

The transcript of Lisi explaining the E8 diagram to another physicist,

Lisi: Dude, look.

Physicist: Dude?

Lisi: Dude, yeah.

Physicist: Dude, no way!

Lisi: Dude, way!

Physicist: Duuude...

Time will tell if its correct, but just fundamentally I’ve not bought into the extra dimensions theories... Sort of just comes accross like giant fudge factors with fancy names... math doesn’t work out.. just add another dimension so it does.
