Saw similar write-up in NewScientist mag...

Beautiful math.

And, unlike several wild & woolly notions based around string-theory etc, this offers strongly falsifiable predictions.

Like 40-some new particles, currently un-known, un-sought and utterly at odds with current chromodynamics etc.

IIRC, the 'symmetry' team are busy calculating masses and other properties. Only need one (1) 'unexpected' hit to prompt seriously deep re-think. Gets to three, they're looking at Nobel prize.

Um, IMHO, down-side of finding gravitons exist as particles is what black-holes do with them: Like, how do they behave at event horizon ?? I must also wonder if gravitons come in quantum-entangled pairs...

Upside, IMHO, is the possibility of gravity control...

Definitely a case of 'watch this space' !!!
