What are these groups like SU(2) and E8XE8 etc. Can anybody explain it with full details and also give pre-requisite knowledge.

Some good books
"Full details"
Not bloody likely. Try Carter, Segal, and MacDonald, Lectures on Lie Groups and Lie Algebras for an overview and then Bump, Lie Groups for details on some of the most important ideas. You can find details on various approaches in many other books as well, such as Gilmore, Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, and Some of Their Applications.
Caution: at any given moment, Wikipedia articles may be quite impressive or they may be terribly misleading and inaccurate. In particular, be aware that mathematical cranks exist and wikishilling is a problem in the math pages at WP.

A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was:
One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named.
I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this:
Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.)
Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion
Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit?
Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it.
If not please ignore me.
EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
