Lie Group E8 Mapped
"Calculation on paper would cover Manhattan"
A simple article on it is given here: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/e8.html

Re: Lie Group E8 Mapped
I will have to discuss this matter in differential geometry tomorrow. We always manage to get on the subject of Lie groups every class.

Re: Lie Group E8 Mapped
I am not a professor, I am a "graduate student". My differential geometry class is just small enough that open class discussion is possible. It is not rare for someone to ask a good slightly off-topic question which results in a discussion on something new for the rest of class.
What does everyone mean when they say "it is too far"? Are you unable to view the link? If that's the case, here are some other news stories on the same topic:
