the image of everything
There's this surfer dude who's actually got a PhD in Physics who has published in the respectable New Scientist a theory of everything, as reported in Surfer dude stuns physicists with theory of everything.
He bases his math on this 248-dimensional lovely object [here drawn in two dimensions], known simply as E8.
i like the resemblance to mandalas, such as this arabic mandala:
or this tibetan one:
or indra's net of pearls
or bucky fuller's geodesic dome:
or m.c. escher:
