“The boundary of a boundary is zero. This central principle of algebraic topology, identity, triviality, tautology though it is, is also the unifying theme of Maxwell electrodynamics, Einstein geometrodynamics, and almost every version of modern field theory. That one can get so much from so little, almost everything from almost nothing, inspires hope that we will someday complete the mathematization of physics and derive everything from nothing, all law from no law.” [John Archibald Wheeler]
