Wow who would've thunk??

Integrals are pretty deep stuff as can be seen in the recent proof of the Cobordism Theorem. They can be used everywhere instead of Grothendieck-Deligne-May spectra to obtain a greater level of physical intuitions in our highly rigorous proofs, this is a meta-theorem.

Literally this.... The cobordism hypothesis can be (and has been) proved (by Mathematical Physicists), so where are the proofs of this homotopy "hypothesis"? Answer: there are none, because cobordism hypothesis is the cornerstone of something concrete (i.e. TQFT, string theory) while this homotopy hypothesis is the cornerstone of absolute algebraic wank.
And while we're at it, I would like to add that those mathematicians that dislike the supposed "lack of rigor" in physics should also reject statements proven assuming generalized RH/CH.
