i love this picture
it's a 3D representation of the E8 Universe (which is 4D, so I'm not quite sure how that works), but look at the shadow!

From a physics stand point, which is better, surfing or snow boarding?
Ha! There's more going on while surfing, with water and wind rushing all around you -- it's about chaos and taking chances. Snowboarding lets you draw a cleaner line -- it's more geometric and deterministic. The difference between these two is a lot like the difference between particle physics, with it's many quantum particles careening off one another, and Einstein's theory of gravity, the smooth geometry of curved spacetime. I think, for completeness, you need both.

can someone translate this into english for me? (PDF warning)
ETA: i have found Lisi's email address and website. of course, he's a burner. at the risk of annoying the hell out of the poor guy, i have asked him some questions directly. i will repost any relevant bits here.
ETA v.2: he suggested i poke around here. i will do so. feel free to continue explaining things to me, though, because at some point i may get it enough to have a discussion about it. at least, that's the goal.
ETA v.3: I also have an email out to Gregg Braden to see if he can speak to the more esoteric aspects of this that I've been noticing...
