If you're listing topology as "less meaningful", I'm guessing you haven't spent much time studying topics in physics that have been developed since the 1970s or so. Topology turns out to be a pretty big deal.

- Retric 12y agoThere has been plenty of post 1970's physics advances, but the number of useful ones (for the average person) directly linked to Topology is much smaller. EX: Fusion research is potentially extremely useful, but so far it's impact is basically nothing. Ditto Astrophysics. Though, if you have anything specific in mind I would love to hear about it as I am really drawing a blank.
