Has anyone heard of Garret Lisi's theory of everything called E8? It's a fringe competitor to string theory. This video kind of describes it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xHw9zcCvRQ and this is an interactive model: http://deferentialgeometry.org/epe/ and this is a pretty picture of a Lie group: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:E8PetrieFull.svg
At the center of the circles is the photon which I think means it agrees with what Ra said about the photon being the most elementary particle.
