E10 and the Wave Function of the Universe

In attempts to formulate a unified theory of quantum gravity and the fundamental interactions of the maximal rank, hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra E10 plays a distinguished role. In this talk, I will touch on selected aspects of recent work in this direction (much of which has been advanced and inspired by Thibault) and review some of the outstanding issues.
