All fields of the standard model and gravity are unified as an E8 principal bundle connection. A non-compact real form of the E8 Lie algebra has G2 and F4 subalgebras which break down to strong su(3), electroweak su(2) x u(1), gravitational so(3,1), the frame-Higgs, and three generations of fermions related by triality. The interactions and dynamics of these 1-form and Grassmann valued parts of an E8 superconnection are described by the curvature and action over a four dimensional base manifold.

  • read the wiki article. its pretty good for the non mathematician. E8 was was employed by filling in most of the 248 points of the E8 pattern, using identities (spin, charge, mass, etc) of the 40 known particles and forces. its works kind of like a really complex periodic table of elements, except for particles and their interactions. it will probably help us predict and verify patterns in physics by using the e8 symmetries. it might even lead to a unified theory.

  • The universe is in the wrong aspect ratio...

  • what?

  • As ev1Lsect said, it's just a comprehensible 3D projection. It's by no means a contradiction. Every dimension contain every lower dimension as a subset, and can therefore be projected onto any lower dimension.

  • You dont know what your talking about. Its a 3D model representing a 248 dimensional figure.

  • Yeah me too. It reminds me of IChing or a logic map. The colors make my eyes peaceful.

  • It is pretty. I like its potential, but alarmed by it at the same time.

  • what the hell you chatting? i just like the pretty colours
