<p>[00:59:34] So we have a division into intrinsic theories and auxiliary theory. | <p>[00:59:34] So we have a division into intrinsic theories and auxiliary theory. Between physics and mathematics. More specifically, geometry. And intrinsic physical theory would be general relativity. An auxiliary physical theory would be the Yang-Mills theory, with the freedom to choose internal quantum numbers. | ||
<p>[01:00:20] At the mathematical level, an intrinsic theory would be, let's be a little fastidious: the older semi-Riemannian geometry. The study of manifolds with length and angle. But auxiliary geometry is really what's taken off of late since the revolution partially begun at Oxford when Is Singer brought insights from Stony Brook to the U.K. | <p>[01:00:20] At the mathematical level, an intrinsic theory would be, let's be a little fastidious: the older semi-Riemannian geometry.
