How does this tie into E8? Does this work validate Garret Lissi or is it parallel? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Exceptionally_Simple_Theory_of_Everything h

  I remember hearing Garret Lisi's TED talk on the E8 ToE (link below) years ago and hoping that components of the theory would eventually come to light through advances in particle physics research. Has anyone heard anything supportive or to the contrary since? TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/garrett_lisi_on_his_theory_of_everything https://www.ted.com/talks/garrett_lisi_on_his_theory_of_ever... Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 https://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 Edit I remember seeing an update from him two years ago where he addresses some of the criticism: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-status-of-Garrett-Lisis-E8-Theory https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-status-of-Garrett-Lisis-E8...

    There's been some criticism of his work, back when it first came out. I'm fuzzy on the details now, but the criticism was along the lines of "mixing things together that don't make sense".

      I remember something about being unable to do any CP violation.
