Hey, I never said it wasn't possible - I just don't think it's probable.

For those mathematically inclined readers. For what it's worth, Lisi considers this "baby math".

Heh, 'baby math'...I understood about the first page, and nothing further.

I'd also note that Einstein was a patent clerk when he was coming up with some of his most significant theories/ideas.

Being a clerk isn't a mark on Einsteins intelligence. The way I read it he went into work in the morning there were 2 or 3 patent requests he dealt with and he had nothing to do the rest of the day except work on his ideas.

There appear to be some flaws with the approach..

It would be a shame... it looks beautiful.

There are a lot of symmetries in physics... so injecting physics into complex symmetries (like the E8) is likely to come up with some apparent correlations.
