"Surfer dude stuns physicists with theory..." A brilliant headline from the The Daily Telegraph and the sub is even better "An impoverished surfer has drawn up a new theory of the universe, seen by some as the Holy Grail of physics...."
This is copy-writing at its best.
Why am I saying that here?
The surfer name is Garrett Lisi, 39 and indeed he has a passion for surfing. As I understand he loves the waves and his favored place is Hawaii. A dream place for most surfers, don't you agree! Do not underestimate this guy, rather hang on to your seat because...
That dude holds an PhD in theoretical physics. Yes, believe it or not, it is still true.
And, oh yes, let’s not forget...
his honors list: Highest Honors in Physics and Mathematics, Summa Cum Laude, Kinsey Prize for The Outstanding Graduating Senior in Physics, just to name a view.
Here’s what this is all about: Imagine the next time you talk about surfing and someone is making this smart type of comment or give you that look ... You know it don't you... Now you can respond in style and refer to your surfing Einstein buddy Lisi.
This is really cool... He is a surfing Einstein, don't you agree!
