Hi all, I wish to notify other editors that I have offered to assist ( Neil Turok) in editing his bio page. We have no personal connection before a few hours ago, when a friend recommended that I Google Dr. Turok, as we seemed to have interests in common. I am a lately retired physicist and astronomer who has been a Wikipedia editor for several years. I have a "lay physicist"'s interest in Turok's fields, though no claim to deep knowledge. I saw that he has very lately sought to edit his article, but been questioned on COI grounds. Anyhow, I hope that I may be useful to Wikipedia and Turok both, and perhaps learn a bit myself, and I declare that I have no personal interest beyond that just stated. I understand of course that the usual WP rules re neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sources must be satisfied. Wwheaton ( talk) 04:34, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
Turok appeared next to Paul Steinhardt in episode 4 of Through the Wormhole, where they said that their entire M theory about branes and cyclic cosmology would be finished once gravitational waves would be oberserved (which this article indirectly refers to by pointing towards the Planck space observatory, as they believed that if gravitational waves would exist, they would first be detected by the Planck satellite), as that event would prove correct their direct competitor, which is inflationary theory that they sought to disprove by means of M theory. This event now came in February, 2016, when LIGO announced that they had directly observed gravitational waves. The article here should be corrected accordingly to show that Turok and Steinhardt's M theory has been disproven. -- 79.242.222.168 ( talk) 16:45, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
