KEY POINTS: For as long as we’ve had physical theories describing the Universe, those working on them have sought a unified theory of everything, uniting all of nature’s forces, particles, and interactions in a single framework. The quest has led us down many theoretically interesting avenues, spawning ideas like extra dimensions, supersymmetry, proton decay, string theory, and many others. However, none have led us to the promised land. In 2013, theoretical physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed put forth a fascinating calculational, geometric tool known as the amplituhedron. As part of the promising young field of positive geometry, could it finally pave a path to a theory of everything? (MORE - details)
