The Search for Deeper Structures Beyond Space and Time
24:49 - 31:25 (06:36)
Scientists are studying deeper structures beyond space and time that give rise to space-time as a simple projection, like cosmological polytopes and amplituhedrons, whereas cognitive neuroscientists believe space-time and objects within it are fundamental. At smaller scales, space-time actually expands rather than contracts, leading to a search for even deeper structures.

Summary
The search for deeper structures beyond space-time is getting intense as we try to probe higher energies and smaller scales. The structures of cosmological polytopes and amplituhedrons, which are being deeply studied, are some of the hints researchers have towards understanding these new structures, deeper than space-time, which could take a century to fully comprehend.
