Abstract: The aim of this talk is to make some general remarks on the 
role
of geometrical and topological concepts in the development of 
theoretical
physics, espacially in gauge theory and string theory, and then to show
the great significance of these concepst for a better understanding of 
the
dynamics of physics. We claim that physical phenomena very likely emerge
from the geometrical and topological structure of spacetime.
