From Weburbia > Predictions for the final unified theory of physics, by Philip Gibbs (?):
The present revolution in physics will end with the discovery of an intricate and unique mathematical structure with the power to explain all the laws of physics including a consistent theory of quantum gravity and a unified theory of all fields and particles. [...] In at least some formulations, the structure will be a finite algebraic structure in the same sense that the monster group is finite. However, it will be very much larger. [...] The finite size of the structure will imply that there is a finite limit to the amount of information which can be contained within any region of space-time, and this limit will not grow with its size. [...] Information theory and the mathematical theory of universal computers will be important in understanding how the structure relates to our universe.
