-|content=@StretchMcLurch I would reserve '[[Gauge Theory|gauge group]]' for the infinite dimensional group of automorphisms of the vector bundle and 'structure group' for the (usually) finite-dimensional structure preserving symmetry group of the individual fibers ( e.g. SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) of the Standard Model).
+|content=End/ An interpretation is that [[Ed Witten|Witten]], the greatest living mathematical physicist, was indicating to us that it was only these *abstractions* that were likely to survive, while the instantiations (i.e. the exact equations we still use) would likely perish.
