Surfer dude stuns physicists with theory of everything

This in from this weekends Sunday Telegraph:

An impoverished surfer has drawn up a new theory of the universe, seen by some as the Holy Grail of physics, which has received rave reviews from scientists….

…his proposal is remarkable because, by the arcane standards of particle physics, it does not require highly complex mathematics.

Even better, it does not require more than one dimension of time and three of space, when some rival theories need ten or even more spatial dimensions and other bizarre concepts. And it may even be possible to test his theory, which predicts a host of new particles, perhaps even using the new Large Hadron Collider atom smasher that will go into action near Geneva next year.

If this holds up, it will be the greatest advance in theoretical physics since Relativity. Einstein’s work paved the way for the development of nuclear energy, in both its explosive and non-explosive forms. Who could predict where THIS may lead us? One thing the Chief wouldn’t do is limit the possible outcomes…the sky, or perhaps the galaxy is the limit.
