There are strong indications from physics at both infinitesimal and cosmic distances that our current understanding of the laws of nature is only approximate, and must be replaced by deeper principles. Both in particle physics and in cosmology, novel geometric structure have made an appearance that hint at underlying mathematical structure. Many of these insights are driven by theoretical studies of scattering amplitudes -- the basic building blocks used to predict outcomes of particle scattering. In this talk I will review recent progress in this fascinating field.
