"An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything"
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Interesting!
What's a bit scary though is that I have an old friend who works for CERN in Geneva, where this new 'atom-splitter' will be. Also have my sister and her family living in the vicinity, and I don't like the idea of them producing black-holes of any size! So hopefully (if I read correctly), this E8 theory will be the correct one, and not string theory.

Heh. Maybe not so much.

Abstract: 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.
