Sure String Theory has it's "vibrating strings"

And the idea of the universe being made up of something like that is bound to please the public.

But the E8 geometry comes with this bitchen' animation.

The mandala like aspect is sure to please Hippies and Kabbalists alike

Oddly enough, I may have told the string theorists to suck it just a little too soon.

E8 is still a multi-dimensional representation of the Lie space of the most complicated hypersphere possible. And rather than 11 dimensions, E8 is in 248 dimensions, although it only has rank 8 (the maximum number of mutually commutative degrees of freedom) *

On the flip side, at least it's a mathematically sound model. And as complicated as 248 dimensions may seem, the Lie space is relatively simple.

Thank the supercomputers for actually factoring it out.

Or "If you didn't like vibrating strings, how does HyperBubbles grab you?"
