God's Blueprint of the Universe?

The headline reads "Surfer Dude Stuns Physicists with a Theory of Everything".  A holy grail in the world of theoretical physics, a theory of everything attempts to explain the entirety of our understanding of the universe and all its physical components.  Garrett Lisi, our surfer-hero (and, not incidentally, of course, with an advanced degree in this science), has postulated his theory using the E8, the most elegant and intricate shape known in mathematics. 

E8 is a complex 8-dimensional figure with 248 points.  For mathematicians, it contains 60x more data than did the Human Genome Project.  Written out on paper, it would cover the island of Manhattan.  For we laymen, it looks like an amazing spirograph.

What excites many scientists about Lisi's theory (and don't think for a second that i understand more than a scintilla of it) is that it doesn't need more than our 4 dimensions (the 4th being time or motion) to explain, whereas the other pet theories of the day require 10+ imagined dimensions and other bizarre formulations.  Another point in Lisi's favor is that his model incorporates gravity.

What excites me is the inherent beauty of E8, not just in the standard representation linked above.  But as you rotate (it's hard to imagine rotating a multi-dimension object, i know), you find these other beautiful, elegant, simple, symmetrical pictures.  I can't help but look at them and believe that i'm seeing God's blueprint for the universe.  Not necessarily what you would see if you were able to step outside the universe and see its big-picture shape, such as the earth's sphere or the galaxy's spiral.  But rather the inner workings of the various subatomic particles.

Here's a short video that shows some of those patterns.  Again, i have no idea what all this means from a science standpoint.  One thing that is quite interesting... about a minute into the video, a 6-pointed star appears.

Of course, it's quite possible that Lisi's theory won't pass muster of peer review.  But whether Lisi's model is correct or not, i am confident that if a correct ToE exists, it will amaze us with its simple elegance.  That seems to be the way God works.
