- How did you find PF?
- PF was listed as a referrer to my blog, so I came along to find out what you were looking at and why
I have spent ten years studying symmetry groups in fundamental physics, trying to make sense of it all. It has taken a long time to get to the point where I can post articles to the arxiv discussing these issues, but PF picked up on the first one of these arxiv:2009.14613 a month ago. The perspective of a professional group theorist is often lacking in these discussions, and I felt I could help by surveying the entire field of plausible ways that group theory could go beyond the standard model. Once I'd done that, there was one particular group and one particular algebra that stood out as far and away the best prospect for unification. So this is the message I am trying to convey: if you're serious about unification and quantum gravity, then this is the algebra you need, because nothing else is going to work. I don't know if this one works, but it looks promising to me.
