I googled it and it’s a higher form of number theory that involves things like"abelian extensions" and “absolute Galois groups”. I’ve taken a course in Galois theory so I understand a little bit of that, but how is it related to number theory?

I found the wikipedia article mostly incomprehensible but it says a few things. You are probably better off asking on MSE or Reddit, sorry to say. Wikipedia’s math reference desk has slowed down a lot in recent years though that’s possibly another place to try.
