Amplituhedron: jewel at the end of spacetime

A KABGemini project podcast


This podcast stems from a discussion with Google Gemini 3 Flash/Free-Tier (February 6, 2026):
My starting requirements to Gemini:
Explain how the Amplituhedron theory got its start in recent years, who are the principal researchers and institutions behind it. Explain the theory itself for the common science enthusiast. Explain how it dethrones spacetime from fundamental status and any controversy and disruption that has caused. Explain if and how the theory has evolved and improved to establish its acceptance. Explain if spacetime's utility is now in something like the status of Newtonian physics with respect to space flight: still useful/essential in non-relativistic use cases. Reflect on where the Amplituhedron theory may lead us next. . . . One "Geometric Code" question I should already know the answer to: are attractors/strange attractors considered geometric in this same sense? And do the insights about the jewel in any way dispel prior open questions about attractors?
