The E8 group, an interrelated 248-dimensional symmetrical object, - TopicsExpress



          

The E8 group, an interrelated 248-dimensional symmetrical object, is perhaps the most complex shape in our universe This dense object is so complex, in fact, that it was plotted by computer for the first time in 2007. It took a team of 18 mathematicians -- the Atlas of Lie Groups project at the American Institute of Mathematics -- four years to calculate and plot the formula for E8. The group spent two years on the calculations, and two more dedicated to figuring out how to calculate the shape on the computers available today. But what is it at the first place? goo.gl/P4USwv
