Is there any mathematician that comes even close to master Gauss?

No I seriously I don't understand this for all historic people.

I have no idea how certain people came up with things.

>>8212968
Have you considered that they learned what was available and experimented at the frontier? Which we still do today to "come up with things"?

>>8212851

Go ahead then, name a few.
Hard mode: don't look it up on the internet

>>8214037
Well in hard mode, I can only name those in my field.

He proved things about infinitary combinatorics (such as the Erdős–Rado theorem), and related large cardinal hypotheses (from which he has a system of large cardinal hypotheses — α-Erdős cardinals — named after him).

Repent before it's too late.

>>8214261
Well, if you know anything about this guy>>8213411
you would know that he believe in a god. But, not just any god. A math god. Whenever ever he found some kind of great math theorem, or something, he would exclaim "This one is from God's book of formulae'' upon which he would fall to the fall and twist, and contort in Ecstasy, while rubbing his nipples, for several hours.

He's an incredible mathematician and a great guy, but his work lacks the scope necessary for him to compare to Gauß or his competitors in this thread.

Archimedes.

Shut the fuck up you pretentious douchebag. Not everyone studies the subjects you like. Tao's research hits an incredibly diverse collection of fields, it just happens not be be abstract geometry and doesn't use much category diarrhea, I mean "theory".

Archimedes was doing integrals almost 2000 years before they were invented, the absolute madman

He's 100% a physicist. He said he only studies mathematical shit for physical insight.

Wew lad, you alright there? Christ almighty.

You just can't compare the impact of Tao's work to the impact of that of Hilbert, Grothendieck, Gauß, hell, even Lurie already. Tao's work is excellent, but that's just not what this thread is about.

That's cause string theory is purely mathematical, and it doesn't correspond to the real world. We should call him what he is, a mathematician.

Calculations done in String Theory align perfectly with QFT and GR in their relevant limits. As for the quantum gravitational scale, we have no idea what that should look like anyway.

>>8215835
you know it

>>8216450
Not a single string had ever been found. It's entirely hypothetical and only exists on paper. The idea that everything is a vibration of strings and the comparison to musical notes sounds cool and all but there's no evidence that any of that is true. Can we please stop this meme of comparing science to art and music?

>>8216621
something something subatomic particles

>>8216621
Confirmed for not actually knowing any strong theory; you have no spouted the popsci version of string theory and the popsci argument against strong theory. I'm not saying string theory has been entirely proven to be true, but the fact of the matters is that the calculations are verified and there is currently no reason to believe string theory is incorrect. It has yet to be actually falsified.
