Abstract:I give a summary review of the research program using noncommutative geometry as a framework to determine the structure of space-time. Classification of finite noncommutative spaces under few assumptions reveals why nature chose the Standard Model and the reasons behind the particular form of gauge fields, Higgs fields and fermions as well as the origin of symmetry breaking. It also points that at high energies the Standard Model is a truncation of Pati-Salam unified model of leptons and quarks. The same concl… Show more
