: Hi,
: A. Garrett Lisi is a remarkable physicist. I wrote two short articles
: on him and posted them on the PTT Physics Board about three years ago.
: His 2007 ArXiv preprint (arXiv:0711.0770) has been cited 6 times since
: then (based on Web of Science) by others, including Lee Smolin's 2009
: Physical Review D Paper.
: Interestingly enough, his easy version of his famous E8 story was
: published in Scientific American in Dec of 2010 (Source: Science
: American (2010), Dec: 30-37; Author: A. Garrett Lisi & James Owen
: Weatherall; Title: A geometric theory of everything).
: Hopefully, this article is accessible to current undergrad
: physics majors. In addition, the more-to-explore section at the end
: of this article allows curious readers to devle deeply into
: the subject matter.
: Finally, an experiment to prove or disprove his theory will be
: highly desirable in the near future.

大家想聽八卦我就大概講一下吧，但為甚麼被砲轟切確的理由我已經不太記得了。
他當時剛發完那篇論文後沒多久就四處去演講，演講的目的並不只是要去說他在
做的東西最主要的是在找合作夥伴。我記得他說他很"孤單"，沒有甚麼人願意跟
他合作做他現在在想的這個問題。但台下的物理學家並不相信他的那一篇論文，
我記得理由是說，跟目前"現有的一些模型"有衝突。底下物理學家有很多，還包括
弦論，迴圈量子重力論等等的人。至於詳情如何就有請專家了!

不過看這種演講究很精彩，比起只有單純的presentation有趣多了XD，一來一往的
知識較勁，是科學發展進步的一個因素之一。

→ noonee:所以恐怕要請懂所謂的有衝突的現有模型的人來解釋了
→ noonee:版上有做弦論的吧？XD
推 wohtp:我稍微翻了一下arxiv paper。他看起來還在 tree-level
→ wohtp:我稍微翻了一下arxiv paper。他看起來還在 tree-level
→ wohtp:打轉嘛。雖然在最後稍微提了一句 RG。
→ wohtp:我是看不出他跟standard model有什麼矛盾啦。
→ wohtp:但是我一定第一個問他 RG flow 跟 hierachy problem。
→ psion:Distler說他的群論不及格XD
