Working from principles of differential geometry, physicist Garrett Lisi is developing a new unified theory that purports to explain all the elementary particles, and gravity, in one elegant model. His theory is based on a mathematical shape called E8. With 248 symmetries, E8 is large, complex and beautiful -- and Lisi believes the relationships of its symmetries correspond to known particles and forces, including gravity.

I believe that C is valid and we will not observe hyper C acceleration. I think its value should be studied via 'nano-scale' nuclear conversion of mass to e within a collection cell like the SHC. Splitting neutrons is insufficient.
