Mar 20, 2010: E8
E8 is a mathematical formula that gives math types a woodie.
New Scientist claims E8, which was first discovered in the late 1800's, has finally been observed in the lab. Quote:

So far I've only contributed smart-ass observations, which is my first love and I will continue with, but...
The implications and potential applications of E8 are pretty cool. 1) Yet another example that the universe is rooted in order. 2) The scope, magnitude and direction of energy output and production can be coordinated by it's design/pattern/shape. At a very basic level it's the difference between a light bulb connected via series vs. parallel circuit. Both can have the same energy source, but a parallel circuit will produce more power and a brighter light because of it's design, which allows for less energy resistance. The complex ordering of E8 provide for a dizzying array of varied power output from a single energy source. (Think creative solutions to future energy needs). OK, I've bored myself now. _______________ If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?! |

Hey, as long as I get my cold fusion powered inflatable backpacking microwave oven, I'm good.

Nope. E8 is around Dalston/Hackney in East London.

Beat me to it!
I went to a club in Dalston once. It was so cool it was almost horizontal. As was I when I left it.
