While describing the results of our recent work on exceptional Lie and Jordan algebras, so tightly intertwined in their connection with elementary particles, we will try to stimulate a critical discussion on the nature of spacetime and indicate how these algebraic structures can inspire a new way of going beyond the current knowledge of fundamental physics.

Sporadic and Exceptional

So the mystery deepens and the plot thickens: http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.06742
