boostertwo Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Click on image for an update on Garrett Lisi and his work toward finding a unified field theory. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/earth/2007/11/14/scisurf114.xml" target=_blank" ><img src="http://i3.tinypic.com/82xyeky.jpg" border="0" alt="Gerrett Lisi, Beaver Creek, CO."></a> Garrett was at SES a few years back. He was easy to spot, even on a slope full of carvers, as he blasts his arcs in a lab coat. A fun, exuberant guy and a talented rider. You can DL the paper, published in pre-print form, here.

Jack M Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 wasn't he in Die Hard? cool, I'm looking forward to digesting the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahur Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I read about this in slashdot but I couldn't connect dots between surfer dude and lab coat carver until now. I don't know what Lisi used in order to come up with , but using 'enhancements' seems to help discoveries :)I guess that working outside of 'establishment' allows more creative 'out-of-box' thinking sometimes. Einstein was brought as an example already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrett Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Have to do something in the summer to keep from getting bored out of my mind -- thought I'd give this little physics problem a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglez Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Does anyone else feel as dumb as a stump with someone like Garrett Lisi in our midst? Here I am worrying about binding angles and hot wax choices, and he is pondering Theories of Everything. Glad to have you aboard G. D.

nils Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 garett, You're also famous in here now :) http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3244,36-979858@51-979860,0.html Le monde is the equivalent paper of the New York Times for France :) They say in the article that you are a certified snowboard instructor... it cannot be true because you do not do the rotation technique egyptian style ;)... Congrats and thnx for the passionnating work you do!! I'll translate a few sentences for you in the article ( which says u are under fire / admiration at this time hehe): quote from Carlo Revelli center for physical sciences ( marseille): he says your theory succeeds in combining for compatibility general relativity and quanticum physics and adds that you seem to solve it with a nice mathematical formalism..he ends saying: "when i read the article i was sceptical (the one you wrote) but at the end i thought to myself: why didn't I think of it myself :)" Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Ross Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Way to go Garrett!! I still think your greater contribution to humanity was the recipe for Singing Mint Chicken, but your work was always over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just started reading my copy of March 2008 Discover magazine... page 30-31 is an article entitled "Could the Next Einstein Be a Surfer Dude?" Number 1 on the list... Garrett Lisi! "over and over again stimulating us with new ideas, with new approaches to things that could be right" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algunderfoot Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Have to do something in the summer to keep from getting bored out of my mind -- thought I'd give this little physics problem a shot. Aren't all problems simple when we break them down into small, managable pieces and take a un-biased look at them? I'm no Scientist but I am continually amazed at we humans and our tendancy to always get in the way of pure, clear thought. Starting with me! Any thought's on a SES clinic Garett? How bout "Free-carving our minds, why matter matters" Look forward to sharing at least three dimensions some day, chair ride conversations would be alot more fasinating than layup and sidecut! Think Quarks, enough for snow anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
