Garrett Lisi wrote an online scientific paper entitled "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" that has the physics community talking. It is an attempt at the universal theory of everything, to replace the Standard Model.

Lisi's theory is considerably more simple than the rival model of string theory.

His theory is based on the mathematical shape, known as E8.

Being poor sucks," Garrett Lisi says. "It's hard to figure out the secrets of the universe when you're trying to figure out where you and your girlfriend are going to sleep next month."
