In an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9JLij1obHY interview with Joe Rogan], Eric Weinstein remarked: | |||
<blockquote>"What I think theoretical physics has failed to do it hasn't build a portal for most people to even understand what the issues are, what are the objects, what is the game."</blockquote> | |||
The goal of the Graph, Wall, Tome project is to solve this problem by building a portal anyone can use to travel to the amazing world that we call fundamental physics. | |||
The name of the project stems from the fact that there are 3 resources that themselves contain all that you need for an almost complete understanding of the world. | |||
# '''The Graph''' - A paragraph written by Edward Witten | |||
# '''The Wall''' - The iconic wall of Stony Brook University | |||
# '''The Tome''' - The book 'The Road to Reality' by Roger Penrose | |||
These resources are available to everyone, but will be sought by almost none. A goal of the Graph, Wall, Tome project is to convert these resources into a medium that can be widely disseminated, and which can not be ignored. | |||
This project will require bi-directional information transfer, and the minds of people with many different aptitudes. | |||
* We need mathematicians, topologists, geometers, and physicists to understand these resources, and all of their implications. | |||
* We need explainers and educators, to convey this information to a wider audience, and | |||
* We need artists, linguists, and programmers to create intuitive visualisations. | |||
The Portal will create a community of people, working together to achieve these aims. | |||
Success will generate yet further insights, opening up a more fundamental understanding of the nature of reality - for the individuals involved, and - for humanity as a whole. | |||

Although there are several great resources to map the way toward complete understanding. Most people will not undertake the journey to understand the source code to the world that we all inhabit. | Although there are several great resources to map the way toward complete understanding.
