Carl Sagan's Alleged E8 Interpretation of the Cosmos — E8 Intelligence Research

Discovered via YouTube: "Carl Sagan explains the geometry of our universe" (XXXSDESDEXXX) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WL_vtu4r1w The video asserts that Carl Sagan, in a hypothetical or misattributed lecture, linked the large‑scale structure of the cosmos to the 248‑dimensional E8 lattice, describing a root‑vector framework for cosmological features. This idea is not substantiated in Caldin's E8 corpus and appears to be a novel assertion that requires independent verification. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
