18: Slipping the DISC: State of The Portal and Chapter 2020: Difference between revisions

What is much more recent, perhaps slightly less than 50 years old, thanks to Jim Simons and C. N. Yang, is the knowledge that the classical theory underneath Quantum Field Theory is in fact a different form of geometry, known as Erismanian geometry, Fiber Bundle Geometry, Gauge Theory, or Steinrod Geometry, whatever you want to call it. So the idea that geometry is the birthplace of fundamental physics, I think is now generally understood by all practicing theoretical physicists functioning at the top level.
