“One success of noncommutative geometry is that it leads directly to the standard model of particle physics. As Alain and his colleagues discovered, if you take Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and write it on the simplest possible noncommutative geometry, out… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Noncommutative geometry has turned up in several approaches to quantum gravity, including string theory, DSR, and loop quantum gravity. But none of these capture the depth of Conne's original conception, which he and a few mathematicians, mostly in France, continue… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
