Urs Schreiber, a theoretical physicist and mathematician at NYU Abu Dhabi, delves into the intriguing realms of category theory and topos theory. He explores the philosophical question of whether something can emerge from nothing, linking it to Hegel's logic. Urs simplifies category theory concepts like functors and adjunctions while addressing the applicability of higher topos theory to theoretical physics. He shares insights on the limitations of perturbation theory, his motivations for founding nLab, and his vision for a more interconnected understanding of math and physics.
