Abstract
I will show you my answer to one of the fundamental questions— why do we have three families of quarks and leptons? It is based on a supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model, which strongly indicates that the quarks and leptons are composite bound states of some E_7 preons. I will also discuss a possible connection to N=8 supergravity.
