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.

I read about this the other day. I am interested to see if his predictions are accurate.

*whoosh*
(the sound of high energy physics going WAY over my head)

No, that was the sound of AESTOE being tossed out of the Halls of Accepted Physics.

A. Garrett Lisi said:
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.
dammit, that's what I had.

OK ... I read the paper - 32 pages. THIS is exceptionally simple!!??
Pretty STAR - but simple???
Does anyone understand this math? Can anyone translate to SIMPLE English!!
