This image is carved into a wall at Stony Brook University. It contains many of the most fundamental equations of physics, providing a formulaic representation of all reality. | |||

Several of the equations have been identified as having direct connections to statements in 'The Graph' (identified by numbers) | |||

(this is not included in 'The Wall', but it has been suggested that perhaps it should have been) | |||

Eric talked about some of the important equations on the wall. There are 2 different recorded versions of the conversation if you want to listen to it. | |||
