This idea is the brain child of a physicist named Garrett Lisi.
E8 refers to the "root lattice" that you get by adding (with fancy math and integrals) all the roots in its system.
E8 has 240 roots!
The E8 is Back!
It attempts to describe all known fundamental interactions in physics to form a possible "theory of everything."
Its the most "exceptional" of all the lie groups
The Magic
A lie group is "a continuous group of symmetries"
E8 is created from the symmetries of a 57 dimensional object and the E8 itself 248 dimensional!
When we do this not only do we reveal information about possible undiscovered particles, we see something very familiar....
Well lets start with "the exceptionally simple theory of everything."
This theory proposes a basis for a unified field theory, called "E8 Theory,"
When we expand this known model the magic happens!
This model is of a broken symmetry!
Using mathematics alone we can expand this model to predict new elementary particles that we can confirm when experiments reach higher energies.
The Particles they Predict
Look at the Gaps!
We know of 226 different elementary particles
When plotted out according to their charges in two dimensions, we can see this
