Magic Star and Exceptional Periodicity: an approach to Quantum Gravity

Abstract

We present a periodic infinite chain of finite generalisations of the exceptional structures, including the exceptional Lie algebra ${\mathbf{e}}_8$, the exceptional Jordan algebra (and pair) and the octonions. We will also argue on the nature of space-time and indicate how these algebraic structures may inspire a new way of going beyond the current knowledge of fundamental physics.
