Hey wait a minute... what about 249 dimensions? Wouldn't that be more complicated? ;') For some reason I've begun to think about isometric exercise...

Solved: sum that adds up to a big zero
by Patrick Foster
March 19, 2007
Professor Adams believes it may help to explain some problems facing physicists. "Amazingly, E8 comes up in physics in string theory. Some physicists believe that plays a fundamental role in explaining the theory of matter. It may be that some day this calculation can help physicists to understand the universe." ...In the end a supercomputer, Sage, at the University of Washington, took 77 hours to compute the answer.
...and the answer was '42'. Hey, someone was bound to say it.

"The Character Table for E8, or How We Wrote Down a 453,060 x 453,060 Matrix and Found Happiness" If one can't get a date, one should think creatively . . . more power to you, Prof. Vogan.
