A new unified theory, not requiring extra dimensions, with predictions that can be tested soon.
Quoted: An impoverished surfer has drawn up a new theory of the universe, seen by some as the Holy Grail of physics, which has received rave reviews from scientists.
This is incredible and it's not a joke.

An interesting article about the discovery of a new type of electrical device. Based on the equations relating charge and magnetism, Leon Chua deduced that the mathematics of electric circuits was missing an element (one that directly relates charge to magnetic flux) - he dubbed the missing element a memristor.
Now scientists believe they have found a physical device that has this effect ... at nanoscales. The device could have some amazing applications for computation.

Hmm. I asked Paco (Dr. Paco now) whether this theory seemed promising to him, and here's what he said:
"Unfortunately, I'd say this has about as much chance as explaining the way the universe works as the something pulled out of the Sunday funnies. In fact, the only reason I think it's getting any attention at all (mostly in the popular press; the physics community for the most part hasn't heard of it), is because of the article's title and the hype of a few reporters ("exceptionally simple" BTW is actually a really bad pun... the theory is no more simple or elegant than any of the 100s of other crackpot theories that come out each year). The only thing positive I've heard about it is that Lee Smolin, a reasonably well-respected scientist, but occasional crack) says he think's it promising, but then I read that his Perimeter Institute funds Lisi, so who knows. Anyway, so no."
Haha, I didn't click through because thought it was from the onion.
