Jules Hedges (May 15 2020 at 09:30):Here's a fun idea I had: dendrochronology (tree ring dating) is like sheaf theory. The idea is that trees in the same area grow the same pattern in their rings, aligned by year. So you start from a bunch of trees whose ages you know, and you try to match up overlaps between their patterns, in order to build a complete timeline
