The exceptional group E8 breaks as:

E8 -> SO(16) -> SO(10) X SO(6) -> SU(5) X SU(3)

The gauge group of superstrings is E8 X E8 after compactification of higher dimensions. The string is a heterotic string, and E8 X E8 encompasses the Standard Model.

E8 is bunk. E9 is also so Passe. Don't these pseudo scientists know it's all about Mobius Strips - non-orientable finite infinity with only one plane. Mobius was God. An invention Better than the wheel!

Harry Thingo even created Mobius Doors which he used to travel great distances - like localised star gates - in the Wamphyri book series. Mobius himself taught him how to make the doors. I read it, it must be true.

This is all nice and well, but will it stop my buttered bread from landing buttered side down when I accidentally drop it?

Now thats faith..

Quantum mechanics has been repeatedly demonstrated through actual experiments.

Absolutely! See the advanced E8 (antigravity) device below.

Now, this is really funny, I think...

Looking at this link describing this work of the "Atlas Group"
http://aimath.org/E8/

Clicking on the link apparently describing this incredibly powerful supercomputer used to do the calculations: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage.html ,
I got this message --- (twice)

The connection has timed out -

The server at sage.math.washington.edu is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy...

They must have their site hosted on a PC-XT or something to save money... LOL.

I agree.

That God has created the universe clearly comprehending the underlying structure of this type of complexity is truly a tribute to his Almighty Greatness, not in any way an invitation to blasphemy. I suspect strongly we've not yet really even touched upon the true complexity yet.

From this great article http://aimath.org/E8/ from the group's website:

"The magnitude of the E8 calculation invites comparison with the Human Genome Project. The human genome, which contains all the genetic information of a cell, is less than a gigabyte in size. The result of the E8 calculation, which contains all the information about E8 and its representations, is 60 gigabytes in size."

Quite a feat.

God is just the creator of mathmatics. I am sure he gets a good giggle when we finally figure new something out. The problem is we don't always get the fact that science and higher math points the way toward, not away from Him.

"Idiots with 180 IQs....."

As opposed to the garden-variety idiots who post on threads like this?
