I remember hearing Garret Lisi's TED talk on the E8 ToE (link below) years ago and hoping that components of the theory would eventually come to light through advances in particle physics research. Has anyone heard anything supportive or to the contrary since? TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/garrett_lisi_on_his_theory_of_ever... Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 Edit I remember seeing an update from him two years ago where he addresses some of the criticism: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-status-of-Garrett-Lisis-E8...

Add to the list Garrett Lisi's E8 Lie theory. I would hope some of his predictions are testable at some point. http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770

Huh? He indeed does claim that his model unifies all the forces. The title of his paper was: "An exceptionally simple theory of everything". From: http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 All fields of the standard model and gravity are unified as an E8 principal bundle connection.
