- rms 19y agoNo, he doesn't, it's just media hype. He claims that the E8 is probably significant to the fundamental forces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E8_polytope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E8_polytope
- ashu 19y agoHuh? He indeed does claim that his model unifies all the forces. The title of his paper was: "An exceptionally simple theory of everything". From: http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 All fields of the standard model and gravity are unified as an E8 principal bundle connection.
