A New Theory of Everything?

goatherder writes "The Telegraph is running a story about a new Unified Theory of Physics. Garrett Lisi has presented a paper called "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" which unifies the Standard Model with gravity — without using string theory. The trick was to use E8 geometry which you may remember from an earlier Slashdot article. Lisi's theory predicts 20 new particles which he hopes might turn up in the Large Hadron Collider."

Stephen Hawking and Chuck Norris met... Chuck Norris got his ass handed to him.

That would've been far more credible than Einstein... whom, I believe was long dead by the time Norris was conceived.

Does this simplified theory of everything run Linux? Or come in Beowulf clusters?

If that's not the funniest thing I've read on slashdot in just about ever, then I don't know what it is I've forgotten.

I don't know about the GP, but Godesses are better looking yet still kick ass. Not all that many gods are armed to the teeth yet remain beautiful; never mind using a tiger as a mount...
Or perhaps you didn't even think that the GP might not be referring to the god of the Abrahamic religions. We don't all believe that Yahweh is the only face of god you know.

Yes, I know I'm totally Off topic; feel free to mod me so; but do me a favour and mod someone else up first.
