I have studied up on group theory, representation theory, and so forth. Since this is the kind of thing I want to study when I persue my math education into grad school.

Anyway, this is just plain awesome. It was neat enough from a Math point of view that Mathematians worked out the E8 Lie Group and its structures several months ago, but then we have an unorthodox Physics PHD surfer connect it to unifying gravity with the other forces. Interestingly other physicists were starting to work with E8 and other unified field theory candidates such as superstring theory, except this theory seems much less convoluted and could possibly be tested.

A slightly older article on the math side.

I am really excited about the possibilities.
