The Origins of Geometry

Why we age, why we get cancer and why we die has not been very well understood at the molecular level. I think perhaps one of the first mature attempts to do this took place in my brother's thesis at the University of Michigan. This is one of the major ideas that I wish to be exploring in 2020. The idea that geometry is the birthplace of fundamental physics I think is now generally understood by all practicing theoretical physicists functioning at the top level. To be honest it's very rare for anyone outside of theoretical physics to have reasonable ideas in physics. They've got all sorts of no go theorems and all sorts of considerations that have to be kept in mind.
