An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything?

Is this the key to understanding the Universe that every physicist wonders about? A unifying theory of the Standard Model for gravity and no superstrings?

Now I'm not a physicist, but I know at least two who scare me with their brains, so perhaps one of them will comment on this. Apparently there are some people quite excited by the theories implications even if it rusn out to be wrong on it's claim of unification.

Na, it dosent explain the theory behind the European Union accounts.

i.e. It doesn't mater how fast you chase the European Commission, you never catch up with the money.

This can only be expressed as EU = mc13.

where EU is the immovable object, mc = mass corruption and 13 is the number of years that the auditors have been unable to sign off the European Union accounts.

Why do you say "no superstings"?

Can you tell that from the one paragraph?

Lubos Motl, possibly the most offensive physicist with a blog*, is not impressed.

*I don't think that he'd be particularly upset at the description. He loves tweaking the noses of people with whom he disagrees.
