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.
