In mathematics, the monster Lie algebra is an infinite dimensional generalized Kac-Moody algebra acted on by the monster group, that was used to prove the monstrous moonshine conjectures.
I reached this in six or seven steps from Political correctness. Like to guess my route? As a hint the first step is in the lead section.

3.2 Political correctness and science ;
Global_warming;
Joseph Fourier;
Fourier series;
Lie group;
Kac–Moody algebra;
Generalized Kac–Moody algebra; - which gives me the link monster Lie algebra.
Did I get the right sequence, and do I win a PRIZE?
