String Theory vs E8
Scientists are working on combining physics of the very large and the physics of the very small. These are the theories whose goal is to combine/unify the physics behind gravitational, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear forces.

Up to this point, String Theory was the leading contender. You may have heard of the theory in the show “The Elegant Universe” or unknowingly in movies such as “Deja Vu”. But, I recently read an article describing a new theory called E8 by Garrett Lisi.

Read the articles and decide for yourself.

almost looks like a nipple. i cant believe people get paid to think this up. its funny cause physics is whatever makes the most sense, is what is. the when someone elses makes more sense then eveyone jumps the boat.

What i find really cool about the whole idea, is that it seems more logical then the string theory. But i think that they could be related as, string is what a quantum theory,and E8 is a Geometry, maybe 2 ways to find the same answer. But the E8 theory maybe more complete as it includes gravity and otherforces into the equations. if you want to read the 30 something page Doctorates paper i can post that up to. Being i was an engineering student i find this intresting. Some of it is really greek if you don't have experience with higher level physics and math. I really look forward to see if he can prove his theory.

hahahaha

It does look like a nipple. That is some crazy stuff though!

hmm... makes you think, wonder, ponder, whatever you want to call it. but i want to look into more on this im kind of like a closet geek in a way.

[smrotary]

Be proud of your geekness!

[Saki Steve]

haha i am kinda geeky

[drifterboy240]

yea its not that im not proud of it but if you make a redneck look stupid you lyable to get shot down here, in mississippi you are allowed to carry a fully loaded gun on you with out a permit!!!!!but if you are driving in your car the bullets can not be any where near the gun? WTF is that stupid S***??!?!?!?!?
