A beautiful new theory of everything: Garrett Lisi on TED.com
Physicist and surfer Garrett Lisi presents a controversial new model of the universe that -- just maybe -- answers all the big questions. If nothing else, it's the most beautiful 8-dimensional model of elementary particles and forces you've ever seen. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 21:26.)
Watch Garrett Lisi's 2008 talk on TED.com, where you can download this TEDTalk, rate it, comment on it and find other talks and performances from our archive of 300+ TEDTalks -- including lots more physics.
