In particular I will show how K(E10) ca n be put to use to amend a proposal due to M. Gell-Mann aimed at identifyi ng the 48 spin-1/2 fermions of N=8 supergravity that remain after complete breaking of supersymmetry with the 3 x 16 quarks and leptons of the Stand ard Model. The supermassive gravitinos could then play a crucial role in e xplaining both dark matter and the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) ev ents observed over many years at the Pierre Auger Observatory.\n\nhttps:// LOCATION: A 304 URL: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
