• Resumen

  • The article discusses a theory of everything proposed by physicist and surfer Garrett Lisi. The theory is based on a mathematical structure called E8, which has 248 dimensions, and is the largest of five objects known as the exceptional simple Lie groups. The mainstream physics community remains largely unconvinced that the theory is accurate. INSET: E8: Exceptional Complexity.
