The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering around in a dark labyrinth. -Galileo Galilei
Physicist Garrett Lisi has proposed a new “theory of everything” — a grand unified theory that explains all the elementary particles, as well as gravity.
“What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles, and things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced”. – Garrett Lisi
In his E8 theory of everything, Garrett Lisi provides us with an amazing view of the symmetry found within what may be called the quantum architecture of the universe.If nothing else, it’s the most beautiful 8-dimensional model of elementary particles and forces you’ve ever seen.
In this 8-dimensional charge-space, the 2nd and 3rd generations of mater show up related to the 1st in a symmetry pattern called triality.
Triality, the foundation of the E8, is one of the most beautiful structures in mathematics and has definite similarity to the geometry within the flower of life.
