Starting in the 1980s Eric Weinstein developed a theory called Geometric Unity which belongs to the category theory of everything (TOE). The first time Eric Weinstein presented his idea and theory of Geometric Unity to a broader audience was at Oxford May 23, 2013. There is footage available including an introduction by Eric Weinsteil from April 1, 2020 (during the pandemic). The lecture itself starts with a kind and two minutes short introduction by Marcus du Sautoy emphasising scientific speculation [...] is by no means discouraged at timestamp 35m18s.
