Abstract
In this essay, we immerse into the framework of normed division algebras as a suitable arena to accommodate the standard model of elementary particles, and we explore some applications to cosmology. Remarkably, they permit interesting non-trivial realisations of the cosmological principle with an interplay between the symmetry groups of the quaternions and octonions. We also argue how these realisations give rise to potentially observational signatures in gravitational waves astronomy.
