As a way to distract you all from boring day-to-day stuff and mostly for its entertainment value I present you "Amplituhedron - A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics":

Once again scientists have figured that complex interactions of particles in physical reality can be described by a single elegant geometric shape, which together with Garrett Lisi's E8 theory starts looking like a trend.

This thread is a continuation and addition to the months old topic started here:

and to some degree the one below:

If you find the article too much for your brain, here is a condensed 2 minute version talking directly to your heart, which I find equally entertaining:
