The Latest Unified Theory of Everything Using the E8 Lattice

I posted about this last week, but this cool video does a great job of explaining the theory.

Quote from the post:

By analysing the most elegant and intricate pattern known to mathematics [the 248 point E8 lattice], [Garret] Lisi has uncovered a relationship underlying all the universe's particles and forces, including gravity - or so he hopes. Lee Smolin at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, describes Lisi's work as "fabulous". "It is one of the most compelling unification models I've seen in many, many years," he says.
