"Surfer Dude" begins construction of a Theory of Everything
A man who has worked as a hiking guide and a bridge builder, and spends most of his time surfing waves in Hawaii has put forward the outlines of what he hopes will become a "Theory of Everything", based on the group E8.
For non-physicists, the so called Theory of Everything is a physical theory which would combine the strong and weak forces with the force of gravity in a way that metric models like Einsteins General Relativity have generally been unable to, and has been the main aim of a majority of physicists ever since Einstein published his work.
Veering away from recent models such as String Theory, Garrett Lisi, who has completed a doctorate in theoretical physics, but is not attached to any academic institution, says that he saw the relationships between physical particles reflected in the symmetries of E8 while reading about it recently.
E8 is commonly represented as a Lie group, and has some amazing Properties, although honestly I can only understand a little of this.
