Abstract: I will give a brief introduction to motivic homotopy theory and discuss how the affine Grassmannian can be used to model certain loop spaces. I will conclude by discussing some joint work with Tom Bachmann and Mike Hopkins wherein we use the above facts to establish certain "exotic periodicities" in motivic homotopy theory.
