At present, physicists are enamoured of symmetry and search only for continuous pictures of fundamental physics. Maybe, one day, they will be motivated to look at possible structures of a fundamentally discrete world.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "At present, physicists are enamoured of symmetry and search only for continuous pictures of fundamental physics. Maybe, one day, they will be motivated to look at possible structures of a fundamentally discrete world." in the context of "John D. Barrow, Theories of Everything: The Quest for Ultimate Explanation (1991) p. 37" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
