This article in Economist.com is of interest.
Firstly Garrett Lisi presents as a home-grown unscientific type who has 'discovered' mind boggling physics, E8 and 248 dimension to the universe, and yet he remains unpublished and all his work is online
Is he a thoroughly modern Internet surfer, as well as the traditional type of surfer, who hasn't time for publishing?
or manic?
or wrong?
or too bright for traditional science?
Why is the universe speaking a mathematical language?
What does the theory of everything tell us?
is it necessary?
is it a spiritual issue?
does it make coffee?
And then 20 particles remain unaccounted for, even though some of them are too large to be seen.
Surely the scientific brain is not so obsessional and rationalising, it is highly creative and imaginative.
I Look forward to your comments
