Maybe that's the *real* secret behind the Theory of Everything!

To be fair, he does have a PhD in Physics.

Is it ionically stable? what is its half-life?

I think you mean sarcasm. Irony is something else.

Probably the best FPS game around. Half Life 2 is even better. ;) (I haven't got a clue what ionically stable means nor could I answer the half-life value for anything.)

"What Lisi had realised was that he could find a way to place the various elementary particles and forces on E8's 248 points. What remained was 20 gaps which he filled with notional particles, for example those that some physicists predict to be associated with gravity." What are these people smoking? And where can I get some?

Not saying this isn't cool, but with 248 degrees of freedom you can naturally express more things than 11 or so that string theory uses, or 5 of Kulusa-Klien, or 4 of classical GR. It is interesting that the equations are similar, should be nice to see how it pans out.

I'm not as impressed by his accomplishment. This article[^] about the E8 figure was published in March 2007 and is titled "Is this the Fabric of the Universe?" It contains this quote which sounds like someone else had already discovered the notion: "This is an impressive achievement," said Hermann Nicolai, Director of the Albert Einstein Institute in Potsdam, Germany. "While mathematicians have known for a long time about the beauty and the uniqueness of E8, we physicists have come to appreciate its exceptional role only more recently - yet, in our attempts to unify gravity with the other fundamental forces into a consistent theory of quantum gravity, we now encounter it at almost every corner," he said, referring to efforts to combine the theory of the very big (general relativity) with the very small (quantum mechanics). "Thus, understanding the inner workings of E8 is not only a great advance for pure mathematics, but may also help physicists in their quest for a unified theory."

Could have been him and the press release took a while until someone verified it. The academic community is not one to let somebody else take the fame and glory for their achievements.
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him, the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein Web - Blog - RSS - Math - LinkedIn - BM

Is it supposed to be impressive that you know that?
