    Theory of Everything?

    Is mathematical pattern the theory of everything? - fundamentals - 17 November 2007 - New Scientist

    GARRETT LISI is an unlikely individual to be staking a claim for a theory of everything. He has no university affiliation and spends most of the year surfing in Hawaii. In winter, he heads to the mountains near Lake Tahoe, California, to teach snowboarding. Until recently, physics was not much more than a hobby.

    That hasn't stopped some leading physicists sitting up and taking notice after Lisi made his theory public on the physics pre-print archive this week (www.arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770). By analysing the most elegant and intricate pattern known to mathematics, Lisi has uncovered a relationship underlying all the universe's particles and forces, including gravity - or so he hopes. Lee Smolin at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, describes Lisi's work as 'fabulous'. 'It is one of the most compelling unification models I've seen in many, many years,' he says.

    Google tests Wikipedia-like knowledge pages on Web | Industries | Technology, Media & Telecommunications | Reuters

    Reuters

    NEW YORK, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Web search leader Google Inc is testing an Internet site for sharing knowledge about any subject under the sun, one that could eventually compete with the popular user-edited encyclopedia Wikipedia.

    Google's 'knol' project started earlier this week and is working with a group of writers by invitation only, Google vice president of engineering Udi Manber wrote in a company blog post.

    'There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share, and there are billions of people who can benefit from it,' Manber said in the post.

    'The goal is for knols to cover all topics, from scientific concepts, to medical information ... to how-to-fix-it instructions.'

    The word 'knol' is used to refer to the project and to an entry on the shared Web site. Google's site will identify the authors posting the information. It will not serve as an editor of the information or endorse what is written on the site.

    The site will eventually be opened to the general public and allow users to submit comments, questions or edits, as well as rate posts. Knol writers will be able to include ads in their posts, sharing the revenue with Google.
