This story got me to read up on the Monster group, watch the linked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsSeoGpiWsw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsSeoGpiWsw and understand at least the basic definitions involved. My newbie take: in the realm of group theory it's as if we've categorized all prime 'numbers' into one of 18 infinite streams or one of 26 'numbers' that don't belong to any such streams. Amazing.
