I'm curious about whether we will start discovering new maths in the next few years that provide insight into unsolved CS or Physics problems!

I think it's going to reduce the friction of exploring new areas in math, and that we're going to see a golden age of math unlike anything seen before.

		Right, most professional mathematicians know almost nothing about their neighboring branches of mathematics. An algebraic geometry researcher would be hard pressed to understand a new result from category theory or even something closer like commutative algebra.

For all you know, some of this has already happened but kept secret for national security reasons

		Well, we had tried to ban exporting cryptography once. It didn't go well.
