As an overly curious layperson looking for omega=1, it has been my sense for a long time that harmonics (or wave phenomenon) must lie at the inception of the physical realm. I was encouraged by the work of this consortium, but their ideas never seemed to get much traction among the peers.
Now, having discovered Burt Ovruts ekpyrotic cosmology and the reaction from his peers - I am ecstatic and very much hopeful the theory will be written in book form for the general public so we can keep tabs on it in the years to come.
Sigh ... I wish I were a mouse in your lab.
