• Resumen

  • This article profiles French mathematician Alain Connes, focusing on his contribution to mathematics with the development of "noncommutative geometry." This form of geometry places emphasis on the order of events in a sequence, rather than the location of objects. Connes hopes that further research in this field will aid in modelling spacetime.
