Can We Graph the Shape of the Universe?

What does this have to do with trading? I do not know, but when I see something that may very well turn out to be a graphical representation of the Theory of Everything it gets my attention.

The graphic is the E8. E8 encapsulates the symmetries of a geometric object that is 57-dimensional and is itself 248-dimensional. Lisi says “I think our universe is this beautiful shape.”

“Understanding and classifying the representations of Lie Groups (E8) has been critical to understanding phenomena in many different areas of mathematics and science including algebra, geometry, number theory, Physics and Chemistry. This project will be valuable for future mathematicians and scientists”, said Peter Sarnak, Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University.
