I'm waiting for John Baez's input, frankly.
Wait no longer:

12 hours - not bad.
Thanks, it has been forwarded to some folks as well because we are all
wondering what E8 is exactly and why we should care. The UAF physics
department is a bit more down to Earth, if you will.

e8 x e8 was the culmination of the g.u.t. search in string theory
su1 gave electromagnetism
su2 x su1 gave electroweak
su3 x su2 x su1 gave the standard model
these are the gauge groups of the dynamics
the heterotic string allows two possible gauge groups
after the restrictions of anomaly cancellation
so(32) and e8 x e8
the e8 x e8 is the one that can encompass the standard model nicely
