Roger Penrose, page 960 of "The Road to Reality - A Complete Guide to the
Laws of the Universe":
Another idea that may someday find a significant role to play in
physical theory is *category* theory and its generalisation to
n-category theory. [...] It would not altogether surprise me to find
these notions playing some significant role in superseding conventional
spacetime notions in the physics of the 21st century.
