  3. Re:Management Speak by domatic · · Score: 1 · on A New Theory of Everything?

    I won't pretend to understand either the math or the physics involved but the following page has an EPS/PDF rendition of the E8 shape. It's fun to watch gv draw it. Acroread will render the PDF but it is slower than gv rendering the eps. Actually, now that I try it, gv is fast rendering either. Poppler based pdf readers seem to choke on it.

    I found this site easier to understand than the wikipedia link. I warned my trig students about higher dimensions - wait till I tell them about 8-d vectors, they'll love it!

    But for a layman to actually be able to measure space in terms of things that you can't physically touch? That's a pretty big accomplishment. They also give a more "war & peace"-type of the analogy:

    The magnitude of the calculation is staggering: the answer, if written out in tiny print, would cover an area the size of Manhattan.

    But of course it has practical applications: it applies to string theory!
