I enjoyed the pretty colors and movement of the video and how everything aligned, but I had to do some googling on my own to figure out what everything is. Very cool stuff though, once I wrapped my head around it.

Yeah, that's why I linked the E8 article and the definition of a Lie Group before linking the video

When you're talking about this brand of physics I think the distinctions are small and arbitrary. Witten did win a Fields Medal.

this article is about cutting edge nuclear physics and cutting edge math; it's going to be difficult to understand.

I showed this to a friend of mine who studies physics and then we did a little poking around on the internet. This is getting suspiciously little media attention and no mainstream academic attention and there are at least some people saying the guy is a total crackpot:

Sorry to ruin the fun.
