An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything

[mauitian]

I'm not sure yet whether all the attention is good, or if all the hype will have a negative impact, but this has certainly been a strange week. The interest in my work among physicists has been building steadily over the past few months. I've been presenting at conferences, getting invited to cool places, and exchanging emails with some of the best

Apparently, I'm to be immortalized for the words "Holy crap!"

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.1.35

Hollykrap \Ho"ly-crap\, [En. - Holy Crap, perfect indicative of Erureka.]
The exclamation attributed to Lisi, who is said to have
cried out "Holy Crap! That's it!", when he noticed that some
of the equations describing E8's structure matched his own.
Hence, an expression of triumph concerning a discovery.

Be sure to save a copy of The Reference Frame. It'll come in handy some day. :)

Fence or Orbit?

The title is certainly swinging for the fence! Forget the fence, maybe orbit?

I wish I knew enough to comment on the actual content of the paper...But I wanted to make a comment this decade.

I heard about the paper on Groklaw (?!) at 2am and was up until 4am reading it and about it. So I had to write this, which I hope will amuse.

That is awesome.

And this is just way too small world. (I've known Eileen online for about twelve years.)

Dr Lisi is not fazed. "String theory is a dying field," he said. "I mean, it's not like they're going to reproduce."

heh
