The Amplituhedrom

This is one of Nüdel's favorite  scientific discoveries of recent times, the amplituhedron:

The amplituhedron is a jewel-like geometric structure that takes particle interaction equations, which can be thousands of terms long, and simplifies them to a single term.

A potentially astonishing consequence of this figure is that a space-time is merely a property of the universe that emerges from the mathematics of geometry.
