Unfortunately, attempts to deduce anything more quantitative or physically illuminating from the theory have bogged down in the intractable mathematics of this difficult subject.
He showed how complex function theory illuminates the study of minimal surfaces (surfaces of least area that span a given boundary).
His account of the Internet stock mania illuminates this modified theory, which might be termed the neo-E.M.H.: sure, many stocks were fantastically overvalued during the Internet bubble, but the bubble eventually burst, didn't it?
