The Grand Unified Theory

[Dealer_Camel]

Dug this article up a few days ago. So they think they've discovered the Holy Grail of physics?

For all you physics genii out there... discuss.

It sounds promising but incomplete and untested.

 

[Dealer_Camel]

Apparently they won't have the "capability to test it" for another year or so.

I'm not familiar with the eight-dimensions concept, but how the hell can you map something like that? D:

 

[Dealer_Camel]

With some computer thing, because they don't want to cover Manhattan with writing.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Sounds plausible.

Amazing how so many mathematical and scientific concepts are outlined best with imaginary numbers, an yet we humans think that there are too many laws. ( Scientific and Mathematical, not legal)

Basically you need to think of it as a graph that's mapped using eight different planes. Don't try to visualize it, because we can't. The concept is so foreign to the human mind that you'd go insane trying to work it out in your head. You should ultimately just think of it in terms of the numbers, not a visual, since it's largely based on imaginary figures.

Which is why it was long thought impossible to solve.

The string theory does state that the rest of the dimensions apply only on a subatomic level, though, right?

The string theory could tie into religion, if you believed such things.

 

[Phoenix]

Uh, do you know what the string theory is?

 

[Dogenzaka]

So uhh....
a surfer with a PHD makes up a theory all on his own out of nowhere to relate the four forces of nature together using imaginary subatomic particles and an E8 lattice, and he makes news and is suddenly this century's possible Einstein?

Hah. Denise. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

 

[Genocide]

Apparently not. Someone explained it to me one way, and I check the internet earlier. They don't match up. I was told something else was the string theory. I read the real string theory though, it's interesting to say the least.

Would you have believed some German wage-earner in a patent office would become the most revolutionary scientific mind of his century?
