Guts

This paper was presented at a two-day conference at Merton College, Oxford, entitled "Performing Medieval Text, an Interdisciplinary Conference" in May 2013. It discusses a large medieval medical scroll now in the Kungliga Bibliotheket, Stockholm, also discussed in my PhD thesis.

In this paper, we have made an attempt to discuss the role of division algebras (octonions) in gravity and dark matter where, we have described the octonion space as the combination of two quaternionic spaces namely gravitational G-space and
electromagnetic EM-space. We have discussed the standard model and GUTs in terms of split octonion formulation. At last, we have formulated the theory of dark matter in terms of octonion variables i.e. hot dark matter and cold dark matter.
