-<​blockquote>​The development of modern physics in the first half of the 20th century 
-was closely related to the development of differential geometry, first 
-via Riemannian geometry in Einstein’s theory of gravity and then later 
-via Cartan geometry in Yang-Mills’s theory of gauge fields. But, as highlighted 
-by Grothendieck in the second half of the 20th century and as 
-witnessed by a multitude of modern developments,​ a more natural mathematical 
-description of many phenomena in geometry is obtained by refining from traditional geometric spaces to more refined kinds of spaces 
-known as “stacks”. 
- 
-[...] 
- 
-Our main motivation to consider sheaves and stacks is to provide a nonperturbative 
-framework in which we can do physics. Much of gauge theory is 
-done in perturbation theory, but in fact **non-perturbative effects** such as Dirac 
-monopoles and Yang-Mills instantons play a crucial role in fundamental physics 
-[5]. **The language of stacks is the natural language for these phenomena.**

-Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

-<note tip> 
-In this section things should be explained by analogy and with pictures and, if necessary, some formulas.
