Maths boffins solve 248 dimensional problem
This is a picture of of the 248-dimensional Lie algebra of E8, credit AIM Physicists working to unify the mutually contradictory theories of quantum mechanics and gravity could have a new tool at their disposal, thanks to a group of mathematicians who met at the American Institute of Mathematics. The researchers have mapped …

But credit where it's due; clearly a clever bunch of chaps and chapesses - congratulations to them all.
257
Wow, those blokes almost ran out of ASCII characters to represent the variables. I dread the day we have a 257 dimensional problem for the switch to Unicode will be swift and merciless.
Supercomputer
I didn't know Sage had a supercomputer. Is it compatible with Line 100?
Uh?
It's coming to something when a subject is so complicated I can't even understand the dumbed-down media rehash.
