Amplituhedrons... Ok, most of this I don't understand. I'm going to do some reading up on some of the topics mentioned, to see if I can grok the whole thing. But the possibilities suggested in here are fascinating, and if proved correct would be a big change to quantum physics. One statement by a scientists caught my eye – he compared using Feynman diagrams (something I just barely understand) to taking a Ming vase and smashing it on the floor. That's a bit like saying that using a hammer is a really stupid way to pound a nail in, because there's a new way that's far better. If that happened, a whole bunch of carpenters (or physicists, in this case) will need to learn how to use those new tools...
More here, here, here, here, and the original paper.
