Speaking of octonions (ahem), has everyone read "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything"? The wiki article is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Exceptionally_Simple_Theory_of_Everything and the ArXiv item, 31 pp PDF, I think worth skimming even if not ...any of several relevant difficult specialities...is at http://arxiv.org/pdf/0711.0770 For those who care about uniting quantuum mechanics with general relativity via 248-dimensional Exceptional Simple Lie Algebras. Really it's a nice presentation, obviously more than a little esoteric for almost anyone, but quite well presented for a quite general audience all things considered. And that's a lot of all things to consider, I admit. Peter
