is he really as brilliant as they say he is

many say he is Einstein's successor

if so why isn't he as famous as Einstein was

No experimental work. No way to dumb String Theory down to a level laymen can understand without it sounding like sci-fi.

Is Ed Witten Ashkenazi or Sephardic?
>>
damn eggman got old
>>
>>9011969
He's got wit so Ashkenazi.
Sephardics are a bit slow, I think their only claim to fame was Cantor.
>>
>>9011969

His ethnicity is actually Italian but his family started claiming they were Jews when they arrived in the US to get all the benefits.
>>
>>9012014
Cantor and Spinoza

and thats pretty much it

What about Fermi?

Fermi was goyish

He's ours. Go count your shekels Schlomo

He is famous, string theory was renamed M theory in his honor.
Even if he's considered Einstain's successor, he's very modest so he is famous only for the ones interested in physics.

>is he really as brilliant as they say he is
if being prolific and being brilliant are the same thing then yes. otherwise maybe not. Has ever made an error that he refused to correct even after it was obvious he had erred? If so, definitely not.

>He is famous, string theory was renamed M theory in his honor.

M-Theory is a different thing from String Theory.

>stringy type theories getting any fame

Maybe once they prove some of these ideas out to be more than fantasy
>>
>>9011942
You don't get a field's medal if you aren't brilliant in some manner. Just look over some of Witten's most highly cited papers and you'll see that he's contributed far more than just his work in string theory, he's worked in qft, particle physics, cosmology, hell even some stuff in superconductivity, even without his string contributions he'd still be considered among the upper echelon of theoretical physicists.

Proof positive that being born a goy is the biggest mistake you can make in your life. You will never, EVER outwit (((their))) intellectual cartel, no matter how hard you try.
>>
>Wiles was older than 40 when the proof was confirmed
>Doesn't know why Witten got the field's medal and thinks it's because of string theory
Pretty low quality bait but here's a basic article detailing why he won the field's medal written by another medalist

isn;t it just, in laymen terms, what happens beyond the nucleus of an atom?

is their any evidence that Ed Witten comes from italian ancestry?
>>
>>9011942
>if so why isn't he as famous as Einstein was

Einstein's work was practical and understandable to most people. Ed Witten's work is too mathematical for normies to understand.
