My Analysis:

Surfer dude concludes that everything is wave....Imagine that.

 

When I first saw Lisi’s equation laid out, It blew my mind. Picture this; a revolving geometrical pattern so elegantly simple and in the same instant incredibly complex... it was like looking into the face of god. Of course, I was in a mind altered state at the time (nothing illegal). I mean after all dudes it is "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything".  Whoaaaaaaa surfer dude did you get whacked on the head last outing? Did you say exceptionally simple? It’s based of the E8 whose mathematical representation takes a matrix of 453,060 row and columns. There are 205,263,363,600 entries in all, each a mathematical expression called a polynomial. If each entry was written in a one inch square, then the entire matrix would measure more than seven miles on each side.  Simple?... Yeah right, easy for you to say.

 

The crucial test of Lisi's work will come only when he has made testable predictions. Lisi himself accepts this, saying that although his theory is beautiful to him, "nature may disagree". To fill E8 entirely will require more than 20 new particles not envisaged by the standard model. Lisi is now calculating the masses that these particles should have, in the hope that they may be spotted when the Large Hadron Collider - being built at CERN, near Geneva in Switzerland - starts up next year.

Lisi says,"This is an all-or-nothing kind of theory - it's either going to be exactly right, or spectacularly wrong," says Lisi. "I'm the first to admit this is a long shot. But it ain't over till the LHC sings."

 

Yeah dude!

First let me begin by saying, I don't pretend to understand (or aspire to comprehend) the complexities of the proffered theory. I am completely incapable of such intellectual depth. Thusly, having cleared the air, I will say that I think it's pretty rad stuff from a righteous dude. Everything is a wave....interleaved symmetry.... ultra cool stuff.

You might be wondering "What exactly would a surfer dude know about Physics?"

Garrett Lisi, aka the surfer dude, describes his revelation like this: "When I noticed that some of the equations describing E8's structure matched my own. My brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing," he tells New Scientist. "I thought: 'Holy sh*t, that's it!'"

What is it?? Well here goes....All fields of the standard model and gravity are unified as an E8 principal bundle connection. A non-compact real form of the E8 Lie algebra has G2 and F4 subalgebras which break down to strong su(3), electroweak su(2) x u(1), gravitational so(3,1), the frame-Higgs, and three generations of fermions related by triality. The interactions and dynamics of these 1-form and Grassmann valued parts of an E8 superconnection are described by the curvature and action over a four dimensional base manifold.....Boooooooooooooooooom  *head explodes

Try this on for size instead...they actually speak English for us curious however non genius goat boat drivers. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/11/14/scisurf114.xml&CMP=ILC-mostviewedbox
