Please see the "GEM Blog: GEM Unification Rescinded, Officially" video.

The complete script:

Gravity should integrate gracefully with the other forces of Nature like light and what keeps the nucleus together. 

Einstein, Feynman, Hawking: people with more talent than I, have failed in this quest, so I must cheat in a simple way.

Physicists work with collections of 4 numbers

There is only one way physicists form products with sets of 4 numbers.

Nature has deceived us for so long by using multiple ways to multiply.

Gravity is a universal attractive force.

Gravity needs a product that only has plus signs, no minus signs.

Using the positive product within the standard machinery of physics may achieve the grail of unification providing a deep new insight into Nature.
