When I first encountered this wiki I found its tone over the top, reminiscent of the people in Eco's Foucault's Pendulum; however, the breadth and depth of Roger Penrose's The Road to Reality (what is referred to as the Tome) is so mind boggling that perhaps such extravaganza is justified. What is at stake here, AFAIK, is to understand everything, the whole universe. Of course, you may take issue with Penrose's blunt criticisms of various theories towards the end.
Before I die I'd like to learn enough physics to grok Edward Witten's paragraph (the Graph), my understanding is that this roughly coincides with a MA in Physics level.
