The best thing there is to do on this planet is surf


For this punk, the game is not defying gravity, it's bending it


I tried jumping off a hill on my own, which was fun but frightening enough to make me pay for an instructor

A. Garrett Lisi, a physicist who divides his time between surfing in Maui and teaching snowboarding in Lake Tahoe, has come up with what may be the Grand Unified Theory

A successful Grand Unified Theory would use a series of equations to show how the four fundamental forces of nature — gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces — relate to each other.

But gravity has always been an outlier. Not only have all attempts to link gravity to the other three forces failed, but physicists still can't agree on what gravity actually is or how it works.

Lisi tells New Scientist magazine. "I thought: 'Holy crap, that's it!'"
