The holy grail of Physics is a Unified Theory, i.e. a theory that describes different but fundamental forces, such as electromagnetism, the weak interaction and the strong interaction. Except for String theory, no Unified theory has been proposed. And String theory apparently cannot be tested.
A surfer-dude named Lisi (he holds a PhD in Physics from UC San Diego) has proposed such a theory, called An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything. See original coverage here.
It looks simple and elegant, and came from someone outside the academic circles. Do similarities to Einstein end there? Only time will tell.
